Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Rock
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, we can put it right, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, 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.

What else we do in Rock
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Rock.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Rock and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- 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
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters

What grease filter exchange looks like in Rock
About 43 miles out from central London, Rock is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Rock get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Mary or anywhere around Rock, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mary's CofE Primary School or anywhere near Rock, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Parham House is about 3.9 miles west), access may need planning.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
