Grease filter exchange in Bishopstoke, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, across school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
In a smaller place like Bishopstoke, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later 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 photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we are called out for in Bishopstoke
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Paul's or anywhere around Bishopstoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Grease filter exchange around Bishopstoke
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 18 pubs and bars across Bishopstoke and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Bishopstoke, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. 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 Bishopstoke. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 2.8 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (South Stoneham House is about 3 miles south-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a smaller place like Bishopstoke, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bishopstoke
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. In a smaller place like Bishopstoke, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
