Grease filter exchange in Leigh Park, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you are dealing with a canopy running with filters missing and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Leigh Park, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Common questions in Leigh Park
Can a school canteen extract in Leigh Park be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 8 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Leigh Park. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Leigh Park?
It can, as Leigh Park is within about 2 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leigh Park
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. When a site near Leigh Park shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Leigh Park
What affects the quote in Leigh Park
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Kitchen extracts in Leigh Park
Sea air reaches Leigh Park, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The Food Standards Agency lists about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses in and around Leigh Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Leigh Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havant council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Riders Infant School or anywhere near Leigh Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Historic houses near Leigh Park, such as Warblington Castle about 1.9 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Francis, or anywhere in Leigh Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. For a place like Leigh Park, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
