Grease filter exchange in Emery Down, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
Work in a small place like Emery Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Emery Down
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Christ Church or elsewhere in Emery Down, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Common questions in Emery Down
Is Emery Down within the area you cover?
Yes, Emery Down is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Emery Down out of term?
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 Emery Down. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.

The FSA’s data shows about 12 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Emery Down and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Emery Down is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Emery Down. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Emery Down
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Emery Down, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
