- Poor airflow through the filters
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Grease filter exchange in Farleigh Wallop
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you are dealing with damaged filters letting grease past and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
In a small place like Farleigh Wallop, 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.
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.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Farleigh Wallop
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Farleigh Wallop?
Food hygiene inspections in Farleigh Wallop are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you get to a site in Farleigh Wallop?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Farleigh Wallop is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Farleigh Wallop kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in Farleigh Wallop and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Farleigh Wallop falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend.

The timing of a visit to Farleigh Wallop is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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.
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, which is where we come in.
Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
