About our grease filter exchange in Maybush
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. Typical jobs include a canopy running with filters missing and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
For a smaller kitchen near Maybush, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

More services for Maybush
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Maybush.
- 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.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Common problems we fix in Maybush
Wherever you are, Maybush 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.
What we are most often called out for:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Peter's Church or elsewhere in Maybush, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether a survey comes first
Leave it or put it right?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. Booking now means the visit to Maybush is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
Maybush kitchens: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Maybush is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s data shows about 27 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Maybush. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Maybush sits within the area of 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Maybush (Southampton Tudor House and Garden is about 2.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Western Community Hospital (about under half a mile south), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Questions from Maybush
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Maybush?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Maybush than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Maybush?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Maybush. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What do you do with what you remove?

How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
