Hampshire · Grease filter exchange
Trotton grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for commercial sites in Trotton and across Hampshire. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
Grease filter exchange in Trotton, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for grease left in baffles after washing and gaps where filters have been removed, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Trotton, 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 sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Trotton
Can you get to a site in Trotton?
Yes. Trotton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Trotton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Trotton needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What affects the quote in Trotton
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
What happens if it’s left?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. If the system at a site near Trotton fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Trotton kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Trotton get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Trotton. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Stedham Primary School or anywhere near Trotton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Midhurst Community Hospital, about 3 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Cowdray House is about 3.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. The timing of a visit to Trotton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
