Grease filter exchange in Soberton, Hampshire
One call covers grease filter exchange in Soberton: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy that drips grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never cook with the extract switched off
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Grease filter exchange in Soberton, done properly
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a canopy running with filters missing and grease dripping from the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near Soberton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Soberton, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Soberton questions
Which fire authority looks after Soberton?
Fire safety enforcement in Soberton is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you come to Soberton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Soberton does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we’ll quote quickly.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:

- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs

Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.

What we’re called out for in Soberton
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Soberton, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
