Grease Filter Exchange in Apuldram
We cover Apuldram for grease filter exchange. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.

- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Grease filter exchange in Apuldram, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you are dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help, from island canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Somewhere as small as Apuldram, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. In a place like Apuldram, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Apuldram?
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:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Richard's Hospital (about 2.1 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

FAQs for Apuldram
Is grease filter exchange any different in a coastal place like Apuldram?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Apuldram gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Apuldram?
The local authority for Apuldram is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Grease filter exchange in Apuldram: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Apuldram is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Look up Apuldram on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Apuldram. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. The fire and rescue service for Apuldram is West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Fishbourne CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Apuldram (Goodwood House is about 4.4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
