Grease filter exchange in Shipton Bellinger, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and a canopy running with filters missing.
Work in a small place like Shipton Bellinger starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Common problems we fix in Shipton Bellinger
Wherever you are, Shipton Bellinger included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Shipton Bellinger, 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.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
Common questions in Shipton Bellinger
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Shipton Bellinger?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Shipton Bellinger be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Shipton Bellinger needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
