Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Lyde Green, Hampshire
Grease filter exchange in Lyde Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Grease filter exchange in Lyde Green
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. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy running with filters missing.
For a kitchen in or near Lyde Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Lyde Green: your questions answered
Can you come to Lyde Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Lyde Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Lyde Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Lyde Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote quickly.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
Common problems we fix in Lyde Green
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital about 5.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. Planning a trip to Lyde Green ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive

Kitchen extracts in Lyde Green
The FSA’s data shows about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lyde Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Lyde Green is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Lyde Green get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Lyde Green (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Rotherwick Church or elsewhere in Lyde Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Lyde Green is about 6 miles north-east of Basingstoke, in Hampshire. Sites in Lyde Green get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos.
