Grease filter exchange in Stanmore
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. If you’re dealing with gaps where filters have been removed and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Stanmore, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Grease filter exchange around Stanmore
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 32 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Stanmore. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Stanmore are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Stanmore is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near Saint Luke, or anywhere in Stanmore, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stanmore Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Questions from Stanmore
Can the work in Stanmore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Stanmore needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stanmore?
Fire safety enforcement in Stanmore is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Stanmore
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Hampshire County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Stanmore, about 0.7 miles north-east.

How we price grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Everything the job in Stanmore needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
