Why deal with it now?
In Allbrook, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Allbrook fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Allbrook
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
In a smaller place like Allbrook, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Allbrook
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
School kitchens, at schools like Scantabout Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured

- The number of sites or systems
- Site rules, permits and inductions

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Grease, kitchens and Allbrook
Food Standards Agency records include about 25 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Allbrook, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Allbrook is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Allbrook. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital to Allbrook, about 4.5 miles south. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Allbrook (South Stoneham House is about 3.7 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.

FAQs for Allbrook
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Allbrook in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 12 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Allbrook. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Allbrook?
Fire safety enforcement in Allbrook is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We’ll send you a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
