Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in High Cross, Hampshire
One call covers grease filter exchange in High Cross, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Grease filter exchange in High Cross, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are grease filters clogged with grease and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
Work in a small place like High Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the quote in High Cross
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Kitchen extracts in High Cross
At about 50 miles from central London, High Cross sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Fire safety in High Cross falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around High Cross, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For schools such as Froxfield Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Petersfield Community Hospital, about 2.7 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for High Cross
Can you get to a site in High Cross?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and High Cross is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire authority looks after High Cross?
That’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How far ahead should we book?
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like High Cross.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
