Managing agents and facilities teams in East Marden
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in East Marden
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in East Marden on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. Typical jobs include filter washing that keeps being missed and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across mesh filters, baffle filters and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near East Marden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Other services in East Marden
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in East Marden, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in East Marden
Do you work overnight in East Marden?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in East Marden doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for East Marden?
East Marden is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere as small as East Marden, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Grease, kitchens and East Marden
Fire safety in East Marden falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in East Marden are the job of Chichester council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Historic houses near East Marden, such as Uppark about 2.6 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in East Marden, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
