How we handle grease filter exchange in Durley
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Durley, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you’re dealing with bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can put it right, from wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Durley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. 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.
When to call us in Durley
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Moorgreen Hospital is the nearest hospital to Durley, about 2.8 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What hours they’ll be on site
What grease filter exchange looks like in Durley
Food Standards Agency records include about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Durley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Durley is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Durley get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
South Stoneham House, about 5 miles west, is one of the historic houses near Durley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Cross or anywhere around Durley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Durley: your questions answered
Can you work in Durley outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Durley keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you get to a site in Durley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Durley included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Durley.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep every filter in place during service
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
