Pease Pottage grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Pease Pottage from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Grease filter exchange in Pease Pottage, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where filters have been removed and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
Around a smaller place like Pease Pottage, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Tell us when your site near Pease Pottage is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- 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.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

When to call us in Pease Pottage
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease dripping from the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Discovery New School or anywhere near Pease Pottage, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

FAQs for Pease Pottage
Do you work at weekends in Pease Pottage?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Pease Pottage needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can school kitchens in Pease Pottage be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Pease Pottage, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
