Grease filter exchange in Domewood, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are damaged filters letting grease past and grease filters clogged with grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Grease filter exchange around Domewood
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Domewood. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Domewood is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Domewood get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Victoria Hospital is the nearest hospital to Domewood, about 3.6 miles east. Saint Hill Manor, about 3.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Domewood; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. School kitchens, at schools like Imberhorne School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Questions from Domewood
Can the work in Domewood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Domewood keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Domewood?
That is Mid Sussex council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Domewood. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Domewood and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Part by part
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
