About our grease filter exchange in Exton
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and people most often call us about filters left unwashed on busy weeks and a canopy that drips grease.
In a small place like Exton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What affects the quote in Exton
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For grease filter exchange in Exton, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Exton
Fire safety in Exton falls to 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. About 57 miles out from central London, Exton is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Exton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

FAQs for Exton
Which fire authority looks after Exton?
Exton is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Who inspects food businesses in Exton?
In Exton, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we’ll adjust it.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you work in Exton?
Yes. Exton is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote, usually within one working day.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Other services in Exton
What we are called out for in Exton
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Missing filters in the filter bank
For schools such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Exton.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
