Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Dumpford
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. We’re often asked to deal with damaged filters letting grease past and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Dumpford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
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.

Dumpford: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Dumpford?
In Dumpford, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Is Dumpford within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff do not have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
Kitchen extracts in Dumpford
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Dumpford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. At about 47 miles from central London, Dumpford sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Midhurst Community Hospital (about 3.6 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Dumpford, such as Cowdray House about 3.8 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Dumpford can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Dumpford
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St George's Church or elsewhere in Dumpford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
What happens if it’s left?
In Dumpford, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- A fixed price before any work starts
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009

What affects the quote in Dumpford
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
