Grease Filter Exchange in Kempshott
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Kempshott, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- A canopy that drips grease
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Grease filter exchange in Kempshott, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. We are often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and grease filters clogged with grease, on school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies.
Around a smaller place like Kempshott, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Tell us when your site near Kempshott is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Common problems we fix in Kempshott
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 4.9 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Kempshott
Who is the fire and rescue service for Kempshott?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Kempshott. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Will you come out to Kempshott?
Yes. Kempshott is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
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 happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Kempshott, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Kempshott sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Kempshott. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
