Grease filter exchange in Durrington, West Sussex
A scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones for commercial sites in Durrington and across West Sussex. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease filters clogged with grease
About our grease filter exchange in Durrington
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you are dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and grease filters clogged with grease, we can help, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Durrington gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. For a place like Durrington, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Durrington: your questions answered
Will you come out to Durrington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Durrington included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is grease filter exchange any different in a coastal place like Durrington?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Durrington gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that’s an option. We will check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Grease, kitchens and Durrington
Durrington is within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Durrington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 34 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Durrington, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Durrington. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as The Acre (about 2.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Symphorian's Church or elsewhere in Durrington, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How we price grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Durrington
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. A quieter site near Durrington still needs its system looked after.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Every job surveyed first
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When to call us in Durrington
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Look out for any of the following:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Ecclesden Manor is about 2.6 miles west), access may need planning.
