Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Lychpit
In Lychpit, 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. If you have a canopy running with filters missing and grease filters clogged with grease, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and wall canopies onwards.
In a small place like Lychpit, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lychpit.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Related advice
Do you need grease filter exchange in Lychpit?
Long cooking hours in Lychpit or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 2.6 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Kitchen extracts in Lychpit
The FSA’s data shows about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered across Lychpit and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Fire safety in Lychpit falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Lychpit get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Lychpit, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (The Vyne is about 3 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How we price grease filter exchange
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote

Lychpit: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Lychpit?
Yes. Lychpit is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in Lychpit?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Lychpit can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do you take the used filters away?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff don’t have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
