Mount Pleasant questions
Do you cover smaller places like Mount Pleasant?
Yes. Mount Pleasant is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in Mount Pleasant be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Mount Pleasant, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
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.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff don’t have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
About our grease filter exchange in Mount Pleasant
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers mesh filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are grease building up behind the canopy filters and gaps where filters have been removed.
For a kitchen in or near Mount Pleasant, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

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 photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Mount Pleasant.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Mount Pleasant
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mount Pleasant
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Mount Pleasant?
Wherever you are, Mount Pleasant included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Priestlands School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though typically at a gentler pace.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Kitchen extracts in Mount Pleasant
Sea air reaches Mount Pleasant, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Mount Pleasant and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Mount Pleasant. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Mount Pleasant, about 1.4 miles south-east.
