In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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, next to our reports.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Morestead
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Morestead.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
When to call us in Morestead
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Morestead Church or anywhere around Morestead, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Morestead: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Morestead?
Kitchens in Morestead are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you come to Morestead after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Morestead
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
