About our grease filter exchange in Owslebury
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and weak extraction at the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Owslebury, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. The timing of a visit to Owslebury is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
For grease filter exchange in Owslebury, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Owslebury kitchens: local notes
Owslebury sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Owslebury get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St John's Rooms And Chapel is the nearest hospital to Owslebury, about 4 miles north-west. For schools such as Owslebury Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Owslebury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Owslebury is about 4 miles south-east of Winchester, in Hampshire. Whatever kind of site you run in Owslebury, grease filter exchange is something we can help with.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Owslebury and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Owslebury: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Owslebury?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Owslebury is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Owslebury after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Owslebury keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What happens if it’s left?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. A planned visit to Owslebury is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
