Grease filter exchange in Leagreen, Hampshire

Grease filter exchange in Leagreen, done properly
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. Typical jobs include gaps where filters have been removed and grease filters clogged with grease, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Leagreen, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is 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.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Leagreen run smoothly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each 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.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Leagreen
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we are called out for in Leagreen
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.

Grease, kitchens and Leagreen
At about 1 mile from the coast, Leagreen is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Leagreen. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Leagreen. 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Leagreen is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.5 miles north-east. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Leagreen (Highcliffe Castle is about 4.5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
Leagreen is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in Leagreen
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. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A fault that closes a site in a village like Leagreen affects everyone who depends on it.
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote

- A written report with pictures after every visit
Common questions in Leagreen
Does the sea air around Leagreen make a difference to grease filter exchange?
It can, as Leagreen is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can a school canteen extract in Leagreen be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Leagreen. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
