Grease filter exchange in Meonstoke, done properly
An exchange visit in Meonstoke doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke and heat lingering under the hood and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
For a kitchen in or near Meonstoke, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Report a dripping canopy early
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease filter exchange around Meonstoke
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Meonstoke. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. The fire and rescue service for Meonstoke is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Meonstoke, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Meonstoke Church of England Infant School or anywhere near Meonstoke, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Meonstoke (Hinton Ampner House is about 4.8 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Meonstoke, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Meonstoke: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Meonstoke?
Food hygiene inspections in Meonstoke are carried out by Winchester City council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Meonstoke?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will give you a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere as small as Meonstoke, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
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
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
