About our grease filter exchange in Segensworth
In Segensworth, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease filters clogged with grease.
Somewhere as small as Segensworth, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Segensworth
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Segensworth during the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Segensworth, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you get to a site in Segensworth?
Yes. Segensworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Segensworth
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Segensworth and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Grease filter exchange in Segensworth: the local picture
At about 3 miles from the coast, Segensworth is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. There are about 60 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Segensworth, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Segensworth sits within the area of 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 St John, or anywhere in Segensworth, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Commuter trade near Swanwick station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
Segensworth is about 3 miles north-west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Segensworth gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
What we’re called out for in Segensworth
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
What we are most often called out for:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Blocked baffle filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fareham Community Hospital (about 1.2 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. For a village or hamlet like Segensworth, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Segensworth
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. In a place like Segensworth, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
