About our grease filter exchange in Rogate
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 and the canopy is refilled straight away. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and island canopies, and people most often call us about a greasy plenum behind the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed.
In a village or hamlet like Rogate, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a village like Rogate are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
What grease filter exchange looks like in Rogate
At about 47 miles from central London, Rogate sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Rogate get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester 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.
Historic houses near Rogate, such as Uppark about 4.1 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Petersfield Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Rogate, about 4 miles west.

When to call us in Rogate
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or anywhere around Rogate, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
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.
How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Rogate: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rogate?
Kitchens in Rogate are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you come out to Rogate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rogate included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How long will you be on site?
On site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
