Kitchen extracts in Hambledon
Fire safety in Hambledon falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. We cover Hambledon, about 58 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Hambledon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Alexandra Hospital is the nearest hospital to Hambledon, about 5.5 miles south.

About our grease filter exchange in Hambledon
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about grease filters clogged with grease and grease left in baffles after washing.
Work in a small place like Hambledon starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Hambledon
Long cooking hours in Hambledon or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
School kitchens, at schools like Hambledon Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hambledon
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Common questions in Hambledon
Can the work in Hambledon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Hambledon needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Hambledon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote quickly.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hambledon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
