Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bridgemary
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. We’re often asked to deal with filter washing that keeps being missed and grease dripping from the canopy, on wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Bridgemary gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Bridgemary.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bridgemary
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Common questions in Bridgemary
Do you work in villages like Bridgemary?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Bridgemary?
Fire safety enforcement in Bridgemary is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Bridgemary
Long cooking hours in Bridgemary or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
School kitchens, at schools like Rowner Junior for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bridgemary.

Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
