How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do 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. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tangley.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Tangley
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. We’re often asked to deal with grease filters clogged with grease and a canopy running with filters missing, on restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Tangley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Tangley and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How we price grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
FAQs for Tangley
Is Tangley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tangley is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Tangley?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Tangley. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Why act early in Tangley
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Tangley
Tangley sits within the area of 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. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tangley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 4.3 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, or anywhere in Tangley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
