How grease filter exchange works in Hampshire

Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and damaged filters letting grease past.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.

  1. First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
  2. We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
  3. Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
  4. The filters are checked for fit before we go.
  5. We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Grease filter exchange around Hampshire

In Hampshire, a busy kitchen in a place such as Basingstoke, Winchester and Gosport and a quiet village kitchen need very different cleaning intervals. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.

We work across London and the South East, and Hampshire is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote. In the coastal parts of Hampshire, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, which is worth knowing when systems are inspected.

Basingstoke: Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Basingstoke is Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, about 1.1 miles north. For schools such as King's Furlong Infant School and Nursery, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Keep every filter in place during service
  • Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
  • Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day

Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.

If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Why deal with it now?

Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice.

What your quote should include

  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
  • What insurance they carry

Why it fails

However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • Grease filters clogged with grease
  • Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
  • Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
  • Drips falling from the filters onto equipment

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampshire

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Hampshire

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.

How much notice should we give?

For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?

It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens to the waste?

Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.

Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?

It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
