Grease filter exchange in Sherfield on Loddon, done properly
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. We are often asked to deal with gaps where filters have been removed and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, across wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Sherfield on Loddon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Sherfield on Loddon: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Sherfield on Loddon?
Food hygiene inspections in Sherfield on Loddon are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you cover smaller places like Sherfield on Loddon?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sherfield on Loddon included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What affects the quote in Sherfield on Loddon
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Sherfield on Loddon kitchens: local notes

The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Sherfield on Loddon sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service.

- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What else we do in Sherfield on Loddon
Do you need grease filter exchange in Sherfield on Loddon?
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 2.6 miles north-east), access may need planning.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
