Honest limits

- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- An extract that was undersized from the start

Grease filter exchange in Chineham
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy and grease collecting in the filter channels, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
For a smaller kitchen near Chineham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Chineham: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Chineham?
In Chineham, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Chineham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chineham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a smaller place like Chineham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chineham.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
