Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Long Sutton
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you’re dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and damaged filters letting grease past, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Long Sutton starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
When to call us in Long Sutton
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- A canopy that drips grease
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Long Sutton Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. For a village or hamlet like Long Sutton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
Part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Long Sutton kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Long Sutton, 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. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Long Sutton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Long Sutton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Alton Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Long Sutton, about 5.8 miles south. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Long Sutton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Long Sutton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Long Sutton: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Long Sutton?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Long Sutton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you work in Long Sutton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Long Sutton needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
