Do you need grease filter exchange in Braishfield?
Wherever you are, Braishfield included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Braishfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Grease filter exchange in Braishfield
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Braishfield, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. Typical jobs include filter washing that keeps being missed and poor airflow through the filters, across mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Braishfield 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Braishfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Braishfield. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Braishfield are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Advice
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Braishfield
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters

- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
