Grease filter exchange in Rotherbridge, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include gaps where filters have been removed and grease building up behind the canopy filters, across restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and baffle filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Leave it or put it right?
In Rotherbridge, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rotherbridge affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What else we do in Rotherbridge
Rotherbridge: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Rotherbridge?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Rotherbridge included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Rotherbridge?
It’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Rotherbridge. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
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.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Rotherbridge
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Rotherbridge and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Rotherbridge
There are about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Rotherbridge, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. The fire and rescue service for Rotherbridge is 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. Kitchens in Rotherbridge get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of All Hallows or elsewhere in Rotherbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Rotherbridge, such as Petworth House about 1.2 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Rotherbridge run smoothly.
- 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.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
