Runcton grease filter exchange
Our technicians work in Runcton on grease filter exchange. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
About our grease filter exchange in Runcton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Runcton on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include gaps where filters have been removed and filter washing that keeps being missed, across baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
In a small place like Runcton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Runcton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Kitchen extracts in Runcton
Runcton lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Runcton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service covers Runcton. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Church and community hall kitchens, near The Parish Church of St Stephen or anywhere around Runcton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Term dates shape school work: for a school like North Mundham Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Richard's Hospital about 2.2 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Runcton
Does the sea air around Runcton make a difference to grease filter exchange?
It can. Runcton is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Will you come out to Runcton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we will quote, usually within one working day.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How we price grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Runcton, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Planning a trip to Runcton ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
