About our grease filter exchange in Sandleheath
Across Sandleheath, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can help, from wall canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Sandleheath, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
FAQs for Sandleheath
Can you get to a site in Sandleheath?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sandleheath included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Sandleheath?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Sandleheath does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Look out for drips from the canopy
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.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Sandleheath kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Sandleheath, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sandleheath. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Sandleheath is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Sandleheath Uniting Church, or anywhere in Sandleheath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 3.1 miles north-east), access may need planning.

Why deal with it now?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Sandleheath rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

How it works
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. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sandleheath.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
