Why it’s worth doing now in West Marden
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- Survey first, then a fixed quote

Grease filter exchange in West Marden, done properly
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. We’re often asked to deal with filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, on baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near West Marden, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

West Marden questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for West Marden?
West Marden is in the area of West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in West Marden?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in West Marden does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff don’t have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.

What else we do in West Marden
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
If your staff spot something 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 send you a fixed quote.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens

- Mesh filters

- Island canopies
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like West Marden.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Report a dripping canopy early
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
