Grease filter exchange in Ashley Heath
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing.
Kitchens around a place like Ashley Heath are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Ashley Heath
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
What we are most often called out for:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ashley Heath is St Leonard's Hospital, about 1.6 miles south-west.

Ashley Heath questions
Who inspects food businesses in Ashley Heath?
Food hygiene inspections in Ashley Heath are carried out by New Forest council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is Ashley Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ashley Heath included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Booking now means the visit to Ashley Heath is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- A written report with photos after every visit
- A fixed price before any work starts

Grease, kitchens and Ashley Heath
Kitchens in Ashley Heath get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Ashley Heath falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints or elsewhere in Ashley Heath, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Ives Primary & Nursery School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashley Heath
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. In a place like Ashley Heath, we fit the visit around your hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
