Grease filter exchange in Privett, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Privett on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and staff short of time to wash filters, on island canopies, mesh filters and wall canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Privett, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What happens if it’s left?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Fully insured
- A written report with photos after every visit

Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. For a village or hamlet like Privett, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

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.

How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

When to call us in Privett
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Privett (Hinton Ampner House is about 5 miles west), fitting access panels needs care.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Privett: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Privett?
Food hygiene inspections in Privett are carried out by East Hampshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Privett?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Privett. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Kitchen extracts in Privett
Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Privett. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Privett. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Privett is Petersfield Community Hospital, about 4.8 miles south-east. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Privett, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
