Grease filter exchange across Burley

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange in Burley

Across Burley, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and missing filters in the filter bank.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

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

How it works

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. 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 photos, we can arrive in Burley knowing what to expect.

  1. The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
  2. We set the interval with you.
  3. The dirty set is lifted out.
  4. A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
  5. We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Burley kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses across Burley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Burley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Burley. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.

Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around Burley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Burley Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burley (Avon Tyrrell House is about 2.3 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Aftercare tips

Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:

  • Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Look out for drips from the canopy
  • Make sure no filter is left out

We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.

A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

Different parts, different methods

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.

School, care home and staff kitchens

A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.

Why act early in Burley

Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. With notice, the visit to Burley can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Questions from Burley

Is Burley within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Burley is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Do you work overnight in Burley?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Burley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Are you insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

What does grease filter exchange cost?

We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.

How much notice should we give?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

How do you protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.

Honest limits

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
  • A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
  • Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
