Grease filter exchange in Leckford, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Leckford on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and damaged filters letting grease past.
Somewhere as small as Leckford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Leckford, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare

- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Grease, kitchens and Leckford
Food hygiene inspections in Leckford are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Leckford. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Leckford is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 5.6 miles north. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Leckford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Test Valley School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Leckford
Can you come to Leckford after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Leckford needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Leckford?
That’s Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Leckford. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, or we will check on the first visit.
Do you cover Leckford?
Yes. Our technicians work in Leckford, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. A planned visit to Leckford is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Photo reports with every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
