Grease filter exchange in Nursling
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease collecting in the filter channels and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
Kitchens around a place like Nursling are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What we are called out for in Nursling
Kitchens in Nursling, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A canopy that drips grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Nursling (South Stoneham House is about 4 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Nursling questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nursling?
Kitchens in Nursling are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can school kitchens in Nursling be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 12 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Nursling, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you cover Nursling?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Nursling.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the service starts.

Grease filter exchange in Nursling: the local picture
Nursling lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 30 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Nursling, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Nursling. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Lord's Hill Church or anywhere around Nursling, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Princess Anne Hospital is the nearest hospital to Nursling, about 1.5 miles east.
