West Sussex · Grease filter exchange
Redford grease filter exchange
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Redford, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
When to call us in Redford
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Luke or anywhere around Redford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Grease filter exchange in Redford, done properly
An exchange visit in Redford does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have grease left in baffles after washing and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right, from wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Redford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why it’s worth doing now in Redford
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We diagnose before we treat
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

Grease filter exchange around Redford
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Redford. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. At about 44 miles from central London, Redford sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Redford is Midhurst Community Hospital, about 3 miles south-east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Cowdray House is about 3.4 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Redford is about 7 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. We carry out grease filter exchange for commercial premises of every kind in Redford and the rest of West Sussex. Across West Sussex, we cover 371 places, Redford among them. We also work in Guildford, about 17 miles from Redford.

Further out, we also cover Chichester (13 miles south), Emsworth (14 miles south-west), Billingshurst (14 miles east), Portfield (13 miles south), Midhurst (3 miles south) and Arundel (15 miles south-east).
Landmarks near Redford

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere as small as Redford, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.

Questions from Redford
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Redford?
Kitchens in Redford are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Redford in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Redford. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on the amount of work, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens

- Restaurants and pubs
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
