Grease filter exchange in Thruxton, done properly
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers wall canopies, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about gaps where filters have been removed and poor airflow through the filters.
Somewhere as small as Thruxton, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.

What staff can safely do
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Thruxton kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Thruxton. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thruxton. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Thruxton sits within the area of 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Thruxton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. School kitchens, at schools like Amport Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why act early in Thruxton

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Thruxton
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 3.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the quote shows VAT
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Thruxton can be planned properly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

FAQs for Thruxton
Who is the fire and rescue service for Thruxton?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Thruxton?
Yes, Thruxton is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
