How we handle grease filter exchange in Frogmore
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
In a smaller place like Frogmore, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Frogmore
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Frogmore
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Frogmore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Frogmore falls to 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. Food hygiene inspections in Frogmore are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you cook for passing trade around Sandhurst station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Frogmore Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Frogmore?
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Blocked baffle filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Barnabas Church or elsewhere in Frogmore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and we clear up before we go. Everything the job in Frogmore needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Frogmore
Which council inspects kitchens in Frogmore?
In Frogmore, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Frogmore?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Frogmore. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It doesn’t. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
