Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Liphook
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. Common call-outs are for bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, on school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and mesh filters.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Liphook gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Liphook
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a place like Liphook, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Kitchen extracts in Liphook
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Liphook. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Fire safety in Liphook falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Liphook get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bohunt School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Mary's Church Centre, or anywhere in Liphook, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Liphook questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Liphook?
