About our grease filter exchange in South Hayling
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Common call-outs are for filters that leave gaps in the canopy and weak extraction at the canopy, across school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and island canopies.
Kitchens around a place like South Hayling are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in South Hayling
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a place like South Hayling are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Questions from South Hayling
Will you come out to South Hayling?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can a school canteen extract in South Hayling be done out of term time?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 4 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of South Hayling. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
Grease filter exchange around South Hayling
At about 1 mile from the coast, South Hayling 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. The Food Standards Agency lists about 10 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in South Hayling and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in South Hayling. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around South Hayling (Warblington Castle is about 3.9 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in South Hayling, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St James Hospital about 3.3 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
