Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Norton Green
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Norton Green on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease dripping from the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Norton Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Norton Green.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Norton Green
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Norton Green?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Norton Green than inland. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Can you get to a site in Norton Green?
Yes. Norton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. In a small place like Norton Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Norton Green
Norton Green is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in Norton Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. In Norton Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 5.4 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as All Saints Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Norton Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Norton Green (Mottistone Manor is about 4.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Norton Green is about 5 miles south of Lymington, in the Isle of Wight.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A noisy or failed extract fan
