Grease filter exchange in Blackmoor, done properly
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Blackmoor, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are a greasy plenum behind the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed.
Work in a small place like Blackmoor starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Common problems we fix in Blackmoor
Washing filters by hand does not 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 are:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
School kitchens, at schools like St Matthew's Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Blackmoor run smoothly.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Blackmoor questions
Which fire authority looks after Blackmoor?
Blackmoor is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Blackmoor?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Blackmoor is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why act early in Blackmoor
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. Planning a trip to Blackmoor ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Grease, kitchens and Blackmoor
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways in and around Blackmoor, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Fire safety in Blackmoor falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Blackmoor. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's Church or elsewhere in Blackmoor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Blackmoor, about 1.4 miles north-east.
