Questions from Easton
Is grease filter exchange any different in a coastal place like Easton?
It can. Easton is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can a school canteen extract in Easton be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Easton. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Most changes take well under an hour for most canopies, so the impact is small. We will fit it around your service wherever possible.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Grease filter exchange in Easton, done properly
In Easton, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have grease left in baffles after washing and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help.
Work in a small place like Easton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What a clean won’t put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we are called out for in Easton
Wherever you are, Easton 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.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Easton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. A fault that closes a site in a village like Easton affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 can quote for the whole system.
What affects the quote in Easton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Easton before we set off.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.

Grease filter exchange in Easton: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Easton. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Easton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Easton is covered by 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.
Mottistone Manor, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Easton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Agnes' Church, or anywhere in Easton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
