Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Botley
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about blocked baffle filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
In a smaller place like Botley, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much 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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in Botley needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Botley
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Blocked baffle filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Botley, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Grease filter exchange in Botley: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Botley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Botley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Botley 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.
A kitchen near Botley station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 2.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What happens if it’s left?

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

FAQs for Botley
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Botley out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Botley. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Which council inspects kitchens in Botley?
That’s Eastleigh council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Botley. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you cover Botley?
Yes. Botley is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
