How we handle grease filter exchange in Funtley
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Common call-outs are for drips falling from the filters onto equipment and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across restaurants and pubs, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
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. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Funtley
Do you work in villages like Funtley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Funtley is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Funtley?
It can. Funtley is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
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.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Part by part
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Funtley wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. A fault that closes a site in a village like Funtley affects everyone who depends on it.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

What staff can safely do
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a small place like Funtley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Funtley kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 3 miles from Funtley. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s data shows about 6 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Funtley. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Funtley get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near Church of St Francis, or anywhere in Funtley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Orchard Lea Infant School or anywhere near Funtley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Knowle Hospital, about 0.7 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
