Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Hunton, Hampshire
Grease filter exchange for commercial sites in Hunton and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Hunton
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about a greasy plenum behind the filters and weak extraction at the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Hunton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hunton
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hunton can be planned properly.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting 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, before any work starts.
Related advice
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. In a place like Hunton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Grease, kitchens and Hunton
Hunton is covered by 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. At about 58 miles from central London, Hunton sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
For kitchens in and around Hunton, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

Common questions in Hunton
Can you get to a site in Hunton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hunton?
In Hunton, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Common problems we fix in Hunton
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Hunton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
