Grease filter exchange in Easton, done properly
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are staff short of time to wash filters and grease left in baffles after washing.
In a village or hamlet like Easton, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Always run the extract while cooking
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Why it’s worth doing now in Easton
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. In a small place like Easton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Easton
Is Easton within the area you cover?
Yes. Easton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Easton?
The local authority for Easton is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Easton knowing what to expect.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Easton
Look up Easton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Easton. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Easton is 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. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Easton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Peter Symonds College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Easton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel, about 2.3 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
