Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Hawley, Hampshire
Grease filter exchange for commercial sites in Hawley and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease filter exchange in Hawley
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Hawley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease filter exchange around Hawley
The FSA’s data shows about 13 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Hawley. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hawley 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hawley are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Commuter trade near Blackwater station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Frimley Park Hospital (about 1.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Trinity Church or anywhere around Hawley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hawley
In Hawley, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Hawley fits your hours; an emergency does not.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Hawley: your questions answered
Is Hawley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hawley is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can school kitchens in Hawley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Hawley, the Food Standards Agency lists about 15 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What types of filter do you exchange?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we’ll confirm it on site.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. We plan the journey to Hawley and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- An extract that was undersized from the start

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
