What affects the quote in Passfield
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Grease filter exchange in Passfield, done properly
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 and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you are dealing with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Grease filter exchange in Passfield: the local picture
It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Passfield. 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. Passfield, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Passfield questions
Can a school canteen extract in Passfield be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Passfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will fit the work in.
Which fire service covers Passfield?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Passfield. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff do not have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a village like Passfield are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
Common problems we fix in Passfield
Long cooking hours in Passfield or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mill Chase Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before work begins. It won’t put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs

Why act early in Passfield
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Passfield, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
