Broadbridge kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Broadbridge. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadbridge. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Broadbridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Broadbridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chichester Centre about 3.3 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Broadbridge
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you have blocked baffle filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can put it right, from baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it

FAQs for Broadbridge
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Broadbridge in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Broadbridge. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Broadbridge?
It can. Being within about 3 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Broadbridge than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you cover Broadbridge?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Broadbridge included.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Broadbridge.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Broadbridge
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Broadbridge?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Blocked baffle filters
School kitchens, at schools like Bosham Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether VAT is included
Why deal with it now?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Broadbridge is calmer for everyone.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
