North Hayling grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in North Hayling. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Blocked baffle filters
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease filter exchange in North Hayling
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have poor airflow through the filters and damaged filters letting grease past, we can put it right, from wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters onwards.
For a kitchen in or near North Hayling, 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.
Good records are part of the job. 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 we’re called out for in North Hayling
Wherever you are, North Hayling included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Blocked baffle filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to North Hayling is Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.4 miles north-west.
What your quote should include
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to North Hayling can be planned properly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Managing agents and facilities teams in North Hayling
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in North Hayling and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Questions from North Hayling
Does the sea air around North Hayling make a difference to grease filter exchange?
It can, as North Hayling is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who is the fire and rescue service for North Hayling?
North Hayling is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What grease filter exchange looks like in North Hayling
At about 1 mile from the coast, North Hayling is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central North Hayling, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers North Hayling. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Hayling College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in North Hayling, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
