How we handle grease filter exchange in Golden Pot
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you have hand-washed filters that still look greasy and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Golden Pot, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Golden Pot
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Golden Pot?
Fire safety enforcement in Golden Pot is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can the work in Golden Pot be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Golden Pot does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

Parts of the system we cover

What affects the quote in Golden Pot
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Golden Pot.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What else we do in Golden Pot
What we are called out for in Golden Pot
Wherever you are, Golden Pot included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Blocked baffle filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 3.5 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Before you book anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 explain each part.
