Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Crowdhill, Hampshire
Looking for grease filter exchange in Crowdhill? We diagnose first, fix the price and book the work around your hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Grease filter exchange in Crowdhill, done properly
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Crowdhill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease filter exchange in Crowdhill: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crowdhill. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Eastleigh council inspect food businesses in Crowdhill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Crowdhill 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.
For schools such as Wyvern Technology College, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Crowdhill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 4.4 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Crowdhill
Can you come to Crowdhill after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Crowdhill needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can school kitchens in Crowdhill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Crowdhill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What affects the quote in Crowdhill
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What happens if it’s left?

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.
