Dragons Green grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for Dragons Green and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
About our grease filter exchange in Dragons Green
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Dragons Green on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you are dealing with a canopy that drips grease and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Dragons Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Dragons Green
Which fire authority looks after Dragons Green?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will you come out to Dragons Green?
Yes. Dragons Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll explain the options when we quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Dragons Green.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Grease, kitchens and Dragons Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Dragons Green. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Dragons Green is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Dragons Green get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Dragons Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Horsham Hospital, about 5.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Shipley CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. In a place like Dragons Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
