When to call us in Crockerhill
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
For schools such as Tangmere Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

About our grease filter exchange in Crockerhill
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. 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 smoke and heat lingering under the hood and grease dripping from the canopy, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Work in a small place like Crockerhill 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’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Why act early in Crockerhill
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. In a small place like Crockerhill, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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 any work starts.
