What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Poulner
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include grease left in baffles after washing and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Poulner gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Poulner
Which fire authority looks after Poulner?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Poulner. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Poulner in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 4 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Poulner, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you take the used filters away?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Poulner
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
A hospital like St Leonard's Hospital, about 4.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a smaller place like Poulner, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
