Grease filter exchange in Mansbridge, done properly
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you have filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Mansbridge are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Mansbridge?
Wherever you are, Mansbridge included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Blocked baffle filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Moorgreen Hospital (about 1.9 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

Grease filter exchange around Mansbridge
The FSA’s data shows about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Mansbridge. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Mansbridge is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Mansbridge get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For kitchens close to Swaythling station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Mansbridge Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Mansbridge
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
FAQs for Mansbridge
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mansbridge?
Kitchens in Mansbridge are inspected by Southampton 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 cover smaller places like Mansbridge?
Yes, Mansbridge is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mansbridge
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Mansbridge and across Southampton. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens on the day
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. In a smaller place like Mansbridge, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
