How we handle grease filter exchange in Goddards Green
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

FAQs for Goddards Green
Which fire authority looks after Goddards Green?
That is 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.
Do you work at weekends in Goddards Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when we quote.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll show you which ones on the visit.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Goddards Green
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.

How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When to call us in Goddards Green
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Edward the Confessor or elsewhere in Goddards Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.

Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Goddards Green sits within the area of 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.
