How we handle grease filter exchange in Worth Abbey
Across Worth Abbey, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. If you are dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can help.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Why deal with it now?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. It’s simpler to plan the work at Worth Abbey now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

When to call us in Worth Abbey
Wherever you are, Worth Abbey included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Blocked baffle filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease left in baffles after washing
For schools such as Oriel High School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Worth Abbey
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Worth Abbey.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

FAQs for Worth Abbey
Do you work at weekends in Worth Abbey?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Worth Abbey keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Worth Abbey?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Worth Abbey kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Worth Abbey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Kitchens in Worth Abbey get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Worth Abbey is covered by West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Abbey Church of Our Lady Help of Christians or elsewhere in Worth Abbey, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Worth Abbey (Gravetye Manor is about 2.5 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
