Grease filter exchange in Brown Candover

How we price grease filter exchange

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The size of the system

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

About our grease filter exchange in Brown Candover

Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.

Work in a small place like Brown Candover starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

FAQs for Brown Candover

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brown Candover?

It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Brown Candover. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Can you work in Brown Candover outside opening hours?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.

Who is the responsible person?

That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

Are you accredited?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

What types of filter do you exchange?

We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.

What types of premises do you cover?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What do you do with what you remove?

We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean won’t put right

Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:

  • Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
  • A canopy that needs a proper clean
  • Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Baffle filters

Why it’s worth doing now in Brown Candover

Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. If the system at a site near Brown Candover fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Report a dripping canopy early
  • Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
  • Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
  • Keep canopy surfaces wiped down

Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.

Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

What happens on the day

We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Brown Candover knowing what to expect.

  1. We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
  2. Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
  3. On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
  4. Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
  5. Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
