What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Perham Down run smoothly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Grease filter exchange in Perham Down, done properly
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have smoke and heat lingering under the hood and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Perham Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Perham Down
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters

Perham Down questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Perham Down?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Perham Down. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work in villages like Perham Down?
Yes. Perham Down 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 damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A change takes less than an hour in most kitchens, so disruption is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Why it’s worth doing now in Perham Down
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Planning a trip to Perham Down ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
