Grease filter exchange in East Hampnett, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like East Hampnett, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in East Hampnett
Can a school canteen extract in East Hampnett be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of East Hampnett. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you work in East Hampnett outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What we’re called out for in East Hampnett
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Tangmere Primary Academy, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first
What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit

- Tell us where we can park and unload

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
