Beaulieu grease filter exchange
Need grease filter exchange in Beaulieu? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Beaulieu before we set off.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Beaulieu
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you’re dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and poor airflow through the filters, we can help, from mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Report a dripping canopy early
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Beaulieu
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Beaulieu in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Beaulieu. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Beaulieu within the area you cover?
Yes. Beaulieu is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, or we’ll check on the first visit.
Grease, kitchens and Beaulieu
Sea air reaches Beaulieu, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Beaulieu and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Beaulieu. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 0.1 miles north), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What’s near Beaulieu
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Montagu Arms, among other places. The nearest railway station is Beaulieu Road station, roughly 3.4 miles north-west. A little further out are Lymington New Forest Hospital (5.4 miles south-west) and Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (less than half a mile north-west).
Common problems we fix in Beaulieu
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Beaulieu Village Primary School or anywhere near Beaulieu, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What happens if it’s left?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. A planned visit to Beaulieu is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
