Grease Filter Exchange in Horndean
Grease filter exchange for Horndean, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
About our grease filter exchange in Horndean
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 hand-washed filters that still look greasy and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can put it right.
Many kitchens in a town like Horndean were fitted into buildings built for something else, which can mean awkward duct routes, long flat runs and not enough access panels. Sections we cannot reach are listed on the report, and access panels can be added.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Horndean
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Horndean?
Food hygiene inspections in Horndean are carried out by East Hampshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Horndean?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Horndean. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Most changes take well under an hour for most canopies, so the impact is small. We will fit it around your service wherever possible.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

What affects the quote in Horndean
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Catching it early in Horndean means you choose the day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Horndean kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Horndean. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Horndean falls to 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Horndean. 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.
Historic houses near Horndean, such as Warblington Castle about 4.8 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Wilfrid's or elsewhere in Horndean, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

When to call us in Horndean
Long cooking hours in Horndean or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Havant War Memorial Hospital (about 3.8 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
