Grease filter exchange in Marehill
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease building up behind the canopy filters and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Somewhere as small as Marehill, 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.
Good records are part of the job. 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Marehill can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

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:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Marehill
Wherever you are, Marehill included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Old Place Manor is about 1.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

FAQs for Marehill
Who inspects food businesses in Marehill?
In Marehill, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Marehill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Marehill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will explain the options when you get in touch.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Marehill kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Marehill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Marehill are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Marehill sits within the area of 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Mary's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Wiggonholt Church, or anywhere in Marehill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
