What we do, step by step
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. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Over Wallop before we set off.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Over Wallop
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have filters so greasy the air can barely pass and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and island canopies onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Over Wallop
Will you come out to Over Wallop?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which fire service covers Over Wallop?
That is 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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Over Wallop
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Damaged filters letting grease past
School kitchens, at schools like Wallop Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
Grease filter exchange in Over Wallop: the local picture

Over Wallop sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service.
