In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease filter exchange in Hollywater
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can help, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hollywater
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hollywater and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Hollywater
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodlea Primary School or anywhere near Hollywater, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Hollywater: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Hollywater?
Yes, Hollywater is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hollywater?
Hollywater is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Grease filter exchange in Hollywater: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hollywater. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Hollywater sits within the area of 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 Hollywater are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Where a hall near St Mark's Sacred Church, or anywhere in Hollywater, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 0.6 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
