Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Horton Heath grease filter exchange
A scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones for commercial sites in Horton Heath and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Horton Heath
Across Horton Heath, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have gaps where filters have been removed and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Horton Heath are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
FAQs for Horton Heath
Can you work in Horton Heath outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Horton Heath keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Horton Heath?
Horton Heath is in the area of 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.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
The process
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. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Horton Heath.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease deep in the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
When to call us in Horton Heath
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (South Stoneham House is about 3.7 miles west), access may need planning.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Full insurance on every job
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
