Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Stubbington, Hampshire
A scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones for commercial sites in Stubbington and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep every filter in place during service
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
Grease filter exchange in Stubbington
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Stubbington on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a greasy plenum behind the filters and grease filters clogged with grease.
In a smaller place like Stubbington, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a place like Stubbington, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
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. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.

Stubbington questions
Does the sea air around Stubbington make a difference to grease filter exchange?
It can. Stubbington is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you get to a site in Stubbington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stubbington is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Where do the greasy filters go?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Stubbington kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Stubbington. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Look up Stubbington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Stubbington. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Food hygiene inspections in Stubbington are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Rood Church or anywhere around Stubbington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 3.7 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Crofton Anne Dale Junior School or anywhere near Stubbington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
