About our grease filter exchange in Chandler's Ford
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy that drips grease, on school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Kitchens in towns like Chandler's Ford are often in older buildings that were never designed for them, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Where the duct can’t be reached, new panels can be fitted, and anything left uncleaned is recorded on the report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For grease filter exchange in Chandler's Ford, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What we’re called out for in Chandler's Ford
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Princess Anne Hospital about 4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before booking anyone
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Chandler's Ford
Do you work overnight in Chandler's Ford?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Chandler's Ford keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chandler's Ford?
Kitchens in Chandler's Ford are inspected by Eastleigh council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Sites in a town like Chandler's Ford rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Chandler's Ford
Food Standards Agency data counts about 33 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Chandler's Ford. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Food hygiene inspections in Chandler's Ford are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Chandler's Ford falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Where a hall near St Boniface, or anywhere in Chandler's Ford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Chandler's Ford Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Chandler's Ford
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
