Grease filter exchange in East Worldham
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers mesh filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy and staff short of time to wash filters.
In a village or hamlet like East Worldham, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in East Worldham
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What grease filter exchange looks like in East Worldham
Fire safety in East Worldham falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. We cover East Worldham, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
School kitchens, at schools like Eggar's School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around East Worldham, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a village like East Worldham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies

When to call us in East Worldham
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
What we are most often called out for:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
A hospital like Alton Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Common questions in East Worldham
Who inspects food businesses in East Worldham?
Kitchens in East Worldham are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for East Worldham?
That is 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.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you cover East Worldham?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, East Worldham included.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
