What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Grease filter exchange in East Cholderton, done properly
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. We’re often asked to deal with grease filters clogged with grease and gaps where filters have been removed, on restaurants and pubs, island canopies and mesh filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

Why act early in East Cholderton
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A fault that closes a site in a village like East Cholderton affects everyone who depends on it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes well under an hour for most canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in East Cholderton knowing what to expect.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Cholderton
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
When to call us in East Cholderton
Wherever you are, East Cholderton included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
East Cholderton questions
Which fire service covers East Cholderton?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in East Cholderton?
Kitchens in East Cholderton are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when you get in touch.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
East Cholderton kitchens: local notes
East Cholderton sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in East Cholderton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Amport Church of England Primary School or anywhere near East Cholderton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in East Cholderton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
