Grease filter exchange in The Hangers
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and grease left in baffles after washing.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Do you need grease filter exchange in The Hangers?
Kitchens in The Hangers, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Bishops Waltham Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Grease filter exchange around The Hangers
The FSA’s data shows about 4 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of The Hangers. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in The Hangers. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The Hangers is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Around The Hangers, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.

The Hangers: your questions answered
Can you work in The Hangers outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in The Hangers needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers The Hangers?
The local authority for The Hangers is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How long will you be on site?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you cover The Hangers?
Yes. Our technicians work in The Hangers, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we will quote quickly.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like The Hangers.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
