Grease filter exchange in Lordington
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged filters letting grease past and blocked baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Lordington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

Grease filter exchange around Lordington
The fire and rescue service for Lordington is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Lordington 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. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Bourne Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Racton Church or elsewhere in Lordington, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Lordington
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lordington?
Fire safety enforcement in Lordington is handled by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lordington?
Food hygiene inspections in Lordington are carried out by Chichester council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the service starts.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Lordington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In a place like Lordington, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What else we do in Lordington
Common problems we fix in Lordington
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease dripping from the canopy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 4.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If they look at the system before pricing
What affects the quote in Lordington
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
