Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Ibworth
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are gaps where filters have been removed and filter washing that keeps being missed.
In a small place like Ibworth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease filter exchange around Ibworth
Food hygiene inspections in Ibworth are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Ibworth 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Park Prewett Hospital about 3.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Part by part
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Ibworth
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ibworth (The Vyne is about 4.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. The timing of a visit to Ibworth is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. In a small place like Ibworth, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Ibworth
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ibworth?
In Ibworth, it’s Basingstoke and Deane 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.
Do you work overnight in Ibworth?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ibworth keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
