Grease filter exchange in Heckfield
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. 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. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right, from island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Heckfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Heckfield.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Heckfield kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Heckfield. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Fire safety in Heckfield falls to 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. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Heckfield. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Historic houses near Heckfield, such as Stratfield Saye House about 1.7 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Daneshill School or anywhere near Heckfield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Heckfield: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Heckfield?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Heckfield. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Heckfield?
Fire safety enforcement in Heckfield is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote quickly.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What happens if it’s left?
In Heckfield, as everywhere, a filter service is not 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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Heckfield now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

- Photo reports with every job
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Heckfield
Kitchens in Heckfield, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Heckfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
