About our grease filter exchange in Lymington
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. We’re often asked to deal with grease collecting in the filter channels and grease left in baffles after washing, across mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
Most kitchens in a town like Lymington cannot close for a day, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Lymington
The coast is only about 1 mile from Lymington. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 23 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Lymington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Lymington. 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. Thomas the Apostle, or anywhere in Lymington, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For kitchens close to Lymington Town station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Lymington
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In Lymington, the visit is planned around your opening hours, parking and access to the system.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Common questions in Lymington
Can school kitchens in Lymington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Lymington, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will fit the work in.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lymington?
Lymington is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
