- Damaged filters letting grease past
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Grease filter exchange in Isington
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Isington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Isington

- School and hospital kitchens

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere like Isington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Isington
Which council inspects kitchens in Isington?
The local authority for Isington is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Isington outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Isington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Grease filter exchange in Isington: the local picture
In Isington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Isington. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 5 miles south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. A kitchen near Bentley (Hampshire) station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

How we price grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Isington
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
For schools such as Binsted Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Why act early in Isington
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Isington, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. In a small place like Isington, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
