Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Shopwyke
An exchange visit in Shopwyke doesn’t take long. 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. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Shopwyke, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Shopwyke
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Shopwyke
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
Look out for any of the following:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
School kitchens, at schools like Westbourne House School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Grease filter exchange around Shopwyke
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shopwyke. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Shopwyke falls to 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 Shopwyke get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Why deal with it now?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Shopwyke, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shopwyke and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Common questions in Shopwyke
Do you work at weekends in Shopwyke?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Shopwyke keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shopwyke?
In Shopwyke, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, 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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Shopwyke.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
