What happens if it’s left?
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Brambridge rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Brambridge
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing, we can put it right, from mesh filters, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
Work in a small place like Brambridge starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What else we do in Brambridge
What affects the quote in Brambridge
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Brambridge, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brambridge
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common problems we fix in Brambridge
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Historic houses near Brambridge, such as South Stoneham House about 4.5 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What your quote should include
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

- Wall canopies
Part by part
The plenum

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Questions from Brambridge
Can you work in Brambridge outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Brambridge needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which fire authority looks after Brambridge?
Brambridge is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
Grease filter exchange in Brambridge: the local picture
Look up Brambridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Brambridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brambridge. 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. The fire and rescue service for Brambridge is 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 hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Brambridge, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Colden Common Primary School or anywhere near Brambridge, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
