How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Grease filter exchange in Cowplain, done properly
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have poor airflow through the filters and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Cowplain gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease filter exchange around Cowplain
Food Standards Agency data counts about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Cowplain, up to about a mile and a half out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Cowplain sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Cowplain get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodcroft Primary or anywhere near Cowplain, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near The Hart Plain Church or elsewhere in Cowplain, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 3.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Cowplain is about 1 mile south-west of Horndean, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Cowplain or further out, we cover grease filter exchange for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cowplain
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. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. A site near Cowplain usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your 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 each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Cowplain
Which fire service covers Cowplain?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Cowplain?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease deep in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
