How we handle grease filter exchange in Crossbush
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. Typical jobs include grease filters clogged with grease and a canopy that drips grease, across island canopies, wall canopies and mesh filters.
Somewhere as small as Crossbush, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Kitchen extracts in Crossbush
Crossbush lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records list about 26 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crossbush. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Crossbush is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Arundel station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arundel and District Hospital is the nearest hospital to Crossbush, about 1.5 miles north-west.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Crossbush
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Common problems we fix in Crossbush
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalen, or anywhere in Crossbush, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Crossbush, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Why act early in Crossbush
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. It’s simpler to plan the work at Crossbush now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Crossbush questions
Which environmental health team covers Crossbush?
In Crossbush, it’s Arun council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Crossbush?
It can. Crossbush is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we’ll confirm it on site.
