Looking for grease filter exchange in Northney? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and pictures.
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep every filter in place during service
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Northney
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and poor airflow through the filters, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Northney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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, whatever the size of the place.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Northney.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Grease filter exchange around Northney
Northney is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Northney. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northney. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Warblington Castle, about 1.1 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Northney; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Northney questions
Is grease filter exchange any different in a coastal place like Northney?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Northney gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you get to a site in Northney?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Northney included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we will quote quickly.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Northney and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common problems we fix in Northney
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
What we are most often called out for:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A canopy that drips grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Northney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
