About our grease filter exchange in Langstone
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. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are smoke and heat lingering under the hood and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
In a village or hamlet like Langstone, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. If the system at a site near Langstone fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
What you get with us

What we’re called out for in Langstone
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Where a hall near Saint Nicholas' Chapel, or anywhere in Langstone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Langstone questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Langstone out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Langstone, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Langstone?
Yes, Langstone is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, or we will check on the first visit.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Langstone
Sea air reaches Langstone, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 40 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 22 takeaways across Langstone and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Food hygiene inspections in Langstone are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Langstone (Warblington Castle is about 0.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Langstone run smoothly.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard 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, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
