Grease filter exchange in Hale, done properly
An exchange visit in Hale does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Hale, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere like Hale, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Hale questions
Which fire authority looks after Hale?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Hale. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Which environmental health team covers Hale?
The local authority for Hale is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
Where do the greasy filters go?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. We’ll check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the first visit.
Hale kitchens: local notes
In Hale, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Hale is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 2.5 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Salisbury District Hospital (about 5.8 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hale, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
