Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Shalden Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Common call-outs are for a greasy plenum behind the filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, on school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and island canopies.
In a small place like Shalden Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common problems we fix in Shalden Green
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hall Place is about 3.1 miles south-west), access may need planning.

Questions from Shalden Green
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shalden Green?
Kitchens in Shalden Green are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you come to Shalden Green after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Shalden Green can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What types of filter do you exchange?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll confirm it on site.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
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. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a small place like Shalden Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shalden Green
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
