Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Shripney
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you’re dealing with drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can put it right.
In a small place like Shripney, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Shripney
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Staff short of time to wash filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Cross Church or elsewhere in Shripney, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

FAQs for Shripney
Do you cover smaller places like Shripney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shripney included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the sea air around Shripney make a difference to grease filter exchange?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Shripney gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Shripney
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Shripney kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Shripney, which sits within about 3 miles 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. The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Shripney and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Shripney falls to 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Bersted Green Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital, about 1.3 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Shripney is about 2 miles north-east of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex. Every kind of commercial site in Shripney, we can take on grease filter exchange. We can work out of hours so trading is not interrupted. 371 places in West Sussex are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Portsmouth, around 18 miles away.

Why act early in Shripney
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Shripney are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- 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.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
