How we handle grease filter exchange in Warningcamp
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and blocked baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Warningcamp, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Why act early in Warningcamp
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Warningcamp rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
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 book that in.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Warningcamp kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 14 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 8 hotels and guest houses across Warningcamp and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Warningcamp. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Warningcamp is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hospital like Arundel and District Hospital, about 1.8 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Ecclesden Manor, about 2.8 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Warningcamp; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

FAQs for Warningcamp
Can you get to a site in Warningcamp?
Yes, Warningcamp is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Warningcamp?
That’s West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Where do the greasy filters go?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off.

Advice
What we’re called out for in Warningcamp
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
School kitchens, at schools like The Littlehampton Academy for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
