About our grease filter exchange in Kimbridge
Across Kimbridge, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease collecting in the filter channels and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
In a small place like Kimbridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Grease filter exchange in Kimbridge: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs, bars and clubs in Kimbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Kimbridge are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Kimbridge is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Kimbridge, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Kimbridge?
Kitchens in Kimbridge, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
A hospital like Romsey Community Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why deal with it now?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Kimbridge
Do you work at weekends in Kimbridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Kimbridge needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Kimbridge?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Kimbridge. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Kimbridge and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
