Grease filter exchange in Bury
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have filters left unwashed on busy weeks and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help.
In a small place like Bury, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Bury
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
For schools such as Bury CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What insurance they carry
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bury
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bury and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Grease filter exchange in Bury: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Bury. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Bury. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bury. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Bignor Roman Villa is about 1.7 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Arundel and District Hospital about 3.8 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Bury, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
FAQs for Bury
Can you work in Bury outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bury doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Bury out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bury. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll confirm it on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
