About our grease filter exchange in Filmore Hill
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are grease building up behind the canopy filters and filter washing that keeps being missed.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Filmore Hill before we set off.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report a dripping canopy early
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Common questions in Filmore Hill
Can you work in Filmore Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Filmore Hill?
Yes. Filmore Hill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. A fault that closes a site in a village like Filmore Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Filmore Hill kitchens: local notes
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Filmore Hill. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Filmore Hill, about 52 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 5.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Filmore Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Filmore Hill is about 6 miles north-west of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We carry out grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Filmore Hill and the rest of Hampshire. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Portsmouth, around 16 miles away.
Here we cover the GU34 postcode area for grease filter exchange. We also cover the places around Filmore Hill: Bailey Green (1 mile east), Privett (1 mile east), West Tisted (1 mile north-west), Monkwood (2 miles north) and West Meon (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (11 miles west), Havant (13 miles south), Eastleigh (14 miles west), Fareham (14 miles south-west), Horndean (9 miles south) and Chandler's Ford (15 miles west).
Around Filmore Hill
A little further out are Petersfield Community Hospital (5.6 miles south-east). Open spaces near Filmore Hill include Shutts Copse and Pidham Hill.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Filmore Hill?
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Filmore Hill (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.2 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
