How we handle grease filter exchange in Liss Forest
In Liss Forest, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Common call-outs are for smoke and heat lingering under the hood and a greasy plenum behind the filters, across mesh filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
In a small place like Liss Forest, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the quote in Liss Forest
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Kitchen extracts in Liss Forest
Look up Liss Forest on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Liss Forest and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Liss Forest. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Commuter trade near Liss station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Liss Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chase Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Liss Forest, about 3.8 miles north.

The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Liss Forest is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.

Common questions in Liss Forest
Do you work at weekends in Liss Forest?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which fire service covers Liss Forest?
Fire safety enforcement in Liss Forest is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we will adjust it.
