Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Grease filter exchange in Laverstoke
An exchange visit in Laverstoke doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can put it right, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Laverstoke, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Laverstoke
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Laverstoke, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. If the system at a site near Laverstoke fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Other services in Laverstoke
Do you need grease filter exchange in Laverstoke?
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease left in baffles after washing
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Nicholas' Church or anywhere around Laverstoke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Laverstoke, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Laverstoke questions
Do you work in villages like Laverstoke?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Laverstoke is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Laverstoke?
Kitchens in Laverstoke are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
What affects the quote in Laverstoke
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
