Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Felpham
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about smoke and heat lingering under the hood and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Kitchens around a place like Felpham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Questions from Felpham
Who inspects food businesses in Felpham?
The local authority for Felpham is Arun council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Felpham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Felpham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote quickly.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For grease filter exchange in Felpham, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We plan the journey to Felpham and bring what the job is likely to need.
- 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.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.

What else we do in Felpham
Felpham kitchens: local notes
Felpham is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 77 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 29 takeaways and sandwich shops across Felpham and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Food hygiene inspections in Felpham are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Felpham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (about 1 mile west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Felpham Community College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Felpham is about 1 mile east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs

Why act early in Felpham
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Booking now means the visit to Felpham is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
