Grease filter exchange in Frostlane, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Frostlane on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right.
In a small place like Frostlane, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Frostlane questions
Can a school canteen extract in Frostlane be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Frostlane, the Food Standards Agency lists about 6 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Frostlane?
Frostlane 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.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Frostlane
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system

- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels

- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Grease filter exchange in Frostlane: the local picture
Frostlane lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frostlane. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. The fire and rescue service for Frostlane is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Anne, or anywhere in Frostlane, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Waterside Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the visit works

- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. With notice, the visit to Frostlane can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Frostlane

When to call us in Frostlane
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
A hospital like Royal South Hants Hospital, about 4 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
