Grease filter exchange in Tiptoe
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are smoke and heat lingering under the hood and staff short of time to wash filters.
In a small place like Tiptoe, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Tiptoe.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Tiptoe: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tiptoe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tiptoe is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Tiptoe?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Tiptoe. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Tiptoe
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Tiptoe Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Leave it or put it right?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Tiptoe is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Tiptoe
Tiptoe is within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tiptoe. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Tiptoe. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew or anywhere around Tiptoe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tiptoe is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 3.8 miles east.
