How we handle grease filter exchange in Faberstown
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include filters left unwashed on busy weeks and a greasy plenum behind the filters, on island canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Faberstown questions
Can you get to a site in Faberstown?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Faberstown included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Faberstown?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Faberstown. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Faberstown run smoothly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Why it’s worth doing now in Faberstown

You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease filter exchange in Faberstown: the local picture
Faberstown is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Kitchens in Faberstown get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter in the Wood, or anywhere in Faberstown, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Andover War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Faberstown, about 4.5 miles south-east.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:

Need a price for grease filter exchange? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
