Grease filter exchange in Hazeley: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hazeley. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Hazeley is covered by 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hazeley 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Mattingley Church, or anywhere in Hazeley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.6 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Grease filter exchange in Hazeley
Across Hazeley, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you’re dealing with grease building up behind the canopy filters and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Hazeley, 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 photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Hazeley?
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Hazeley (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.1 miles north-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. For a village or hamlet like Hazeley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Questions from Hazeley
Can you work in Hazeley outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Hazeley can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hazeley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Hazeley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.

What else we do in Hazeley
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hazeley and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Always run the extract while cooking
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
