Grease Filter Exchange in Longmoor
Grease filter exchange across Longmoor and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Always run the extract while cooking
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Longmoor
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. Typical jobs include damaged filters letting grease past and a canopy that drips grease, on baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters.
For a kitchen in or near Longmoor, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Longmoor
About 45 miles out from central London, Longmoor is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in Longmoor get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire 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.
For schools such as Greatham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Chase Community Hospital about 2.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Longmoor is about 3 miles south of Bordon, in Hampshire. Every kind of commercial site in Longmoor, grease filter exchange is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading is not interrupted. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Longmoor is one of them. You can also see our page for Guildford, roughly 18 miles from Longmoor.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
FAQs for Longmoor
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Longmoor?
Kitchens in Longmoor are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work overnight in Longmoor?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Longmoor doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when we quote.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a village or hamlet like Longmoor, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
What affects the quote in Longmoor
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
