About our grease filter exchange in Hurstbourne Priors
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you’re dealing with grease building up behind the canopy filters and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hurstbourne Priors and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Hurstbourne Priors, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Do you need grease filter exchange in Hurstbourne Priors?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 5.2 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
