Grease filter exchange in Bordon
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about missing filters in the filter bank and grease collecting in the filter channels.
Kitchens around a place like Bordon are often in older buildings or single-storey 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Bordon
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
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’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why act early in Bordon
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. In a smaller place like Bordon, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a place like Bordon, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Bordon
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
FAQs for Bordon
Do you work at weekends in Bordon?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bordon?
Kitchens in Bordon are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff do not have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Is Bordon in your area?
Yes. We work in Bordon and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Grease, kitchens and Bordon
Look up Bordon on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways across Bordon and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bordon. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Bordon falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Bordon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. 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 Bordon, about 0.6 miles south. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bordon Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
