Grease filter exchange in Appleshaw
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Appleshaw on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Appleshaw starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Report a dripping canopy early
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Why act early in Appleshaw
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Full insurance on every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

What affects the quote in Appleshaw
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Appleshaw kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Appleshaw, up to about a mile and a half out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Appleshaw. 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 Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Appleshaw. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
For schools such as Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter in the Wood or elsewhere in Appleshaw, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Andover War Memorial Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Appleshaw: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Appleshaw?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Appleshaw?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Appleshaw is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where do the greasy filters go?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
