Grease filter exchange in Holybourne
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 and the canopy is refilled straight away. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that leave gaps in the canopy and missing filters in the filter bank.
In a small place like Holybourne, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Holybourne before we set off.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit

FAQs for Holybourne
Do you cover smaller places like Holybourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Holybourne?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Holybourne. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we will quote, typically within one working day.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we will check on the first visit.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.

Grease, kitchens and Holybourne
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 takeaways in Holybourne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Holybourne. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Holybourne. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Holy Rood Church, or anywhere in Holybourne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 2.4 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Andrews' Endowed Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Holybourne, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What happens if it’s left?
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. It’s simpler to plan the work at Holybourne now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
