How we handle grease filter exchange in Lymore
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Lymore, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Common call-outs are for damaged filters letting grease past and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, across island canopies, mesh filters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Lymore, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

Grease, kitchens and Lymore
Lymore lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 18 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in Lymore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Kitchens in Lymore get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. 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 All Saints or elsewhere in Lymore, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Lymore is about 2 miles south-west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Lymore or further out, we cover grease filter exchange for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Lymore is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for Southampton, roughly 15 miles from Lymore.
Postcode districts we cover here for grease filter exchange: SO41. That includes premises on Lymore Valley, Lymore Lane and School Lane and nearby roads. Close by, we work in Everton (1 mile north), Milford on Sea (1 mile south-west), Keyhaven (1 mile south-east), Lower Pennington (1 mile east) and Pennington (2 miles north-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Totton (13 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (4 miles west), Ringwood (12 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (4 miles west).
Around Lymore
Typical jobs here are in premises near Priestlands School and The Crown Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Lymington Town station, about 2.7 miles north-east. A little further out are Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.9 miles north-east) and St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.4 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Milford on Sea LNR.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Lymore questions
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lymore?
Fire safety enforcement in Lymore is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Lymore?
It can. Salt air reaches Lymore, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Is Lymore in your area?
Yes. We work in Lymore and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we’ll confirm it on site.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere like Lymore, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Related advice
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Lymore
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Lymore is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-east.
