In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bighton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Bighton on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include poor airflow through the filters and grease dripping from the canopy, on wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Bighton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common problems we fix in Bighton
Kitchens in Bighton, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy running with filters missing
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Bighton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Other services in Bighton
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Kitchen extracts in Bighton
Bighton, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Bighton. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Perins School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.3 miles south), access may need planning.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Bighton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bighton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bighton?
