About our grease filter exchange in Avon Castle
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are staff short of time to wash filters and grease dripping from the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Avon Castle, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Avon Castle is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Avon Castle
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Ives Primary & Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Look out for drips from the canopy
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Leave it or put it right?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. Somewhere as small as Avon Castle, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Grease, kitchens and Avon Castle
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Avon Castle. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Avon Castle, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Avon Castle. 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St Leonard's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Avon Castle, about 2.3 miles west. Avon Tyrrell House, about 3.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Avon Castle; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Avon Castle
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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
