Grease Filter Exchange in Elvetham Heath
We cover Elvetham Heath for grease filter exchange. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a smaller place like Elvetham Heath, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- 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.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

How we handle grease filter exchange in Elvetham Heath
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Typical jobs include grease collecting in the filter channels and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, on island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Kitchens around a place like Elvetham Heath are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Elvetham Heath questions
Can you come to Elvetham Heath after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Elvetham Heath keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Elvetham Heath?
Elvetham Heath is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you cover Elvetham Heath?
Yes. We cover Elvetham Heath and across Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will explain the options when you get in touch.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Elvetham Heath
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is typically the tightest.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Elvetham Heath
Long cooking hours in Elvetham Heath or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about within half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
