Do you need grease filter exchange in Eversley Centre?
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- A canopy that drips grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Eversley Centre, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

About our grease filter exchange in Eversley Centre
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and grease left in baffles after washing.
Work in a small place like Eversley Centre 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Eversley Centre
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Eversley Centre?
Kitchens in Eversley Centre are inspected by Hart council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Eversley Centre during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Eversley Centre. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a small place like Eversley Centre, 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.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Eversley Centre kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Eversley Centre and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Eversley Centre. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Eversley Centre sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Pinewood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Eversley Centre, about 4.1 miles north-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Eversley Centre is about 2 miles west of Yateley, in Hampshire. Anywhere in RG27, we can carry out grease filter exchange at your premises. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, large and small. Reading is in our area too, about 8 miles from Eversley Centre.
Work in RG27 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Reading Road and Kingsley Road and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Eversley Centre: Eversley Cross (1 mile east), Eversley (1 mile north-west), Finchampstead (1 mile north-east), Lower Common (1 mile west) and Yateley (2 miles east). Larger places within reach include Basingstoke (12 miles south-west), Farnborough (6 miles south-east), Fleet (5 miles south), Aldershot (8 miles south-east), Alton (14 miles south) and Tadley (12 miles west).
Landmarks near Eversley Centre
Typical jobs here are in premises near Yateley School, Chequers Inn and Shepperlands Farm Nature Reserve. The nearest railway station is Crowthorne station, about 2.5 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Pinewood Hospital (4.1 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s The Marshes Local Nature Reserve and Hitches Hill.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
