Common problems we fix in Nyetimber
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
For schools such as Rose Green Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone

- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we handle grease filter exchange in Nyetimber
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. Typical jobs include a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, across mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens.
Around a smaller place like Nyetimber, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Nyetimber
Nyetimber kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Nyetimber. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nyetimber, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Nyetimber sits within the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket or elsewhere in Nyetimber, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 2.8 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Nyetimber is about 2 miles south-west of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

Around Nyetimber
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Avisford, The Regis School and The Lamb pub. The nearest railway station is Bognor Regis station, roughly 2.6 miles east. A little further out are Bognor Regis Museum (2.4 miles east) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles east).
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Make sure no filter is left out
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Nyetimber can usually be finished without a second trip.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Nyetimber questions
Can a school canteen extract in Nyetimber be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Nyetimber. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you cover smaller places like Nyetimber?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Nyetimber is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Nyetimber
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
