How we handle grease filter exchange in Everton
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. Common call-outs are for a canopy that drips grease and a canopy running with filters missing, across school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Everton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere as small as Everton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Everton: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Everton?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Everton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Everton?
The local authority for Everton is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will explain the options when you get in touch.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep every filter in place during service
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the quote in Everton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What we’re called out for in Everton
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Everton is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 2.5 miles north-east.
Before you book anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Grease filter exchange in Everton: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Everton is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars in Everton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Everton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Everton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
