Grease filter exchange in Chale Green, done properly
An exchange visit in Chale Green does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have drips falling from the filters onto equipment and missing filters in the filter bank, we can help, from island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Chale Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Related advice
Do you need grease filter exchange in Chale Green?
Long cooking hours in Chale Green or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Whitecroft Hospital about 3.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
