What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on in Stone

How we handle grease filter exchange in Stone
An exchange visit in Stone doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and wall canopies, and people most often call us about missing filters in the filter bank and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
Somewhere as small as Stone, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

Common questions in Stone
Can you work in Stone outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Stone keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Stone?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Stone. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
Do you work in Stone?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Stone included.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Common problems we fix in Stone
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
Where a hall near St Francis, or anywhere in Stone, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Stone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Need a price for grease filter exchange? Please call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not 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 we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Stone, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
