Signs you need grease filter exchange in Ibsley
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Martins or elsewhere in Ibsley, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

About our grease filter exchange in Ibsley
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are a canopy that drips grease and blocked baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Ibsley, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Ibsley: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ibsley?
In Ibsley, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ibsley?
Fire safety enforcement in Ibsley is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Ibsley before we set off.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading

Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
