Grease filter exchange in Quidhampton
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Typical jobs include hand-washed filters that still look greasy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, across mesh filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Quidhampton
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you cook for passing trade around Overton station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Comparing quotes
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Quidhampton can be planned properly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease, kitchens and Quidhampton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 7 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Quidhampton, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Quidhampton sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Quidhampton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Overton Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Quidhampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
