Grease filter exchange in North Camp
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in North Camp, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and missing filters in the filter bank, we can help.
In a smaller place like North Camp, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in North Camp
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If you run a café or takeaway near North Camp station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in North Camp
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
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, you get a fixed price before we start.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and we clear up before we go. Everything the job in North Camp needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Common questions in North Camp
Is North Camp within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in North Camp?
That’s Rushmoor council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Camp. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll confirm it on site.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Why it’s worth doing now in North Camp
For any kitchen in North Camp, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

What grease filter exchange looks like in North Camp
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 90 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 35 sandwich bars and takeaways across North Camp and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. The fire and rescue service for North Camp is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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. Food hygiene inspections in North Camp are the job of Rushmoor council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mark's Church of England Aided Primary School or anywhere near North Camp, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Frimley Park Hospital is the nearest hospital to North Camp, about 2.7 miles north.
