Grease filter exchange in Milland, done properly
An exchange visit in Milland doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and gaps where filters have been removed.
Somewhere as small as Milland, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Milland.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Milland
Which fire authority looks after Milland?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Milland. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will you come out to Milland?
Yes. Milland is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
What happens to the waste?
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 the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We’ll confirm it with the quote.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Milland, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. A planned visit to Milland is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Trading since 2009
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
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.
Kitchen extracts in Milland
At about 44 miles from central London, Milland sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Fire safety in Milland falls to 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Tuxlith Chapel or elsewhere in Milland, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital about 4.3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hollycombe Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
