Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Deadwater
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Deadwater, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where filters have been removed and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
For a smaller kitchen near Deadwater, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a place like Deadwater, we fit the visit around your hours.
- 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.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Questions from Deadwater
Can you come to Deadwater after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Deadwater needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Deadwater out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Deadwater, the Food Standards Agency lists about 3 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
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.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies

Grease, kitchens and Deadwater
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs, bars and clubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Deadwater. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Deadwater. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Deadwater get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like Mill Chase Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Chase Community Hospital, about 0.7 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How we price grease filter exchange

- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Deadwater?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Deadwater, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Proof of insurance
