What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters

- Baffle filters
How we handle grease filter exchange in Great Shoddesden
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have staff short of time to wash filters and blocked baffle filters, we can help, from wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Somewhere as small as Great Shoddesden, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Great Shoddesden
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Great Shoddesden
Great Shoddesden is covered by 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. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Great Shoddesden. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Great Shoddesden
Do you work at weekends in Great Shoddesden?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Great Shoddesden?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Great Shoddesden. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That is how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Great Shoddesden can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
