If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Grease filter exchange in Sarisbury, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease filters clogged with grease and a canopy that drips grease.
In a smaller place like Sarisbury, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Leave it or put it right?
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Sarisbury than wait for a failure.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Grease filter exchange around Sarisbury
At about 2 miles from the coast, Sarisbury is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Sarisbury, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Sarisbury. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
For schools such as Sarisbury Church of England Junior School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A kitchen near Swanwick station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Coldeast about less than half a mile south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Sarisbury questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Sarisbury?
Food hygiene inspections in Sarisbury are carried out by Fareham council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you work in villages like Sarisbury?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sarisbury included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
