How we handle grease filter exchange in West Green
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in West Green, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you’re dealing with grease filters clogged with grease and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right, from wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Around a smaller place like West Green, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Tell us when your site near West Green is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.

Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers West Green. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in West Green
Is West Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Green included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in West Green?
The local authority for West Green is Crawley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Green
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. It’s better to plan the work at a site near West Green than wait for a failure.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
