Grease filter exchange in Southrope, done properly
Across Southrope, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. Common call-outs are for missing filters in the filter bank and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, on restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and mesh filters.
In a small place like Southrope, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Questions from Southrope
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Southrope?
In Southrope, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Southrope?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Southrope. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
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 deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Southrope
In Southrope, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. At about 46 miles from central London, Southrope sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Mary or elsewhere in Southrope, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Hall Place, about 3.1 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Southrope; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Alton Community Hospital (about 4.6 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Southrope, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Why it’s worth doing now in Southrope
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. In a small place like Southrope, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us 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. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
