Grease filter exchange in East Anton
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow through the filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like East Anton gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

When to call us in East Anton
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul Church Centre, or anywhere in East Anton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to East Anton, not ours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Questions from East Anton
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in East Anton during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of East Anton. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire authority looks after East Anton?
Fire safety enforcement in East Anton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange does not take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
