Grease filter exchange in Durley Street
In Durley Street, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you are dealing with damaged filters letting grease past and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Durley Street, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
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.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
FAQs for Durley Street
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Durley Street?
In Durley Street, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Durley Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Durley Street is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Do you work in Durley Street?
Yes. Durley Street is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Durley Street
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Durley Street, up to about a mile and a half out. 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 Durley Street. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Durley Street are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like Wyvern Technology College for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Always run the extract while cooking
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Common problems we fix in Durley Street
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Look out for any of the following:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Moorgreen Hospital about 3.9 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange

- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
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 we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
For grease filter exchange in Durley Street, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
