Enham Alamein grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Enham Alamein from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease collecting in the filter channels

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report a dripping canopy early
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Grease filter exchange in Enham Alamein
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged filters letting grease past and a canopy that drips grease.
In a small place like Enham Alamein, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Enham Alamein questions
Which fire authority looks after Enham Alamein?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Enham Alamein. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enham Alamein?
The local authority for Enham Alamein is Test Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, and that’s where we come in.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Enham Alamein
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Enham Alamein and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Kitchens in Enham Alamein get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Enham Alamein sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint George or elsewhere in Enham Alamein, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
