How we handle grease filter exchange in Mattingley

Across Mattingley, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about drips falling from the filters onto equipment and missing filters in the filter bank.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

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, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Mattingley

Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
  • Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
  • Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
  • Missing filters in the filter bank

Stratfield Saye House, about 3.1 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Mattingley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Our hiring checklist

Grease, kitchens and Mattingley

Mattingley is covered by 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. At about 39 miles from central London, Mattingley sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 4.7 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Mattingley Church or anywhere around Mattingley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the visit works

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Mattingley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
  2. We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
  3. We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
  4. The filters are checked for fit before we go.
  5. We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Before we arrive

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Common questions in Mattingley

Do you work in villages like Mattingley?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Mattingley?

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mattingley. 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.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.

Which grease filters does the service cover?

Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?

It isn’t. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.

Between visits

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
  • Do not refit a filter that is bent
  • Watch for grease drips between visits

Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.

Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.

When it’s something else

Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:

  • Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
  • An extract that was undersized from the start
  • Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop

Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What the work covers

  • Wall canopies
  • School and hospital kitchens
  • Island canopies
  • Mesh filters
  • Baffle filters
  • Restaurants and pubs

For landlords and multi-site operators

Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.

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. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we price grease filter exchange

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:

  • The scale of the work
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Parking and loading at the site

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Asking for a quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Any access panels or hatches you can see
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
