Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Northington, Hampshire
For grease filter exchange in Northington, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Weak extraction at the canopy
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Grease filter exchange in Northington
In Northington, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters that leave gaps in the canopy and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
In a village or hamlet like Northington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Northington
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Northington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Northington
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a small place like Northington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange

- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Northington
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Northington?

Can you get to a site in Northington?
