Grease filter exchange in Tye
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Tye on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease filters clogged with grease and a canopy running with filters missing.
In a village or hamlet like Tye, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
Your staff don’t need to do much 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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tye.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

How we price grease filter exchange
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Tye?
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.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Missing filters in the filter bank
A hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital, about 2.9 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Tye
At about 1 mile from the coast, Tye is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records include about 4 hotels and B&Bs within about 1.5 miles of central Tye. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Tye sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Tye, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Mill Rythe Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Tye is about 3 miles south of Havant, in Hampshire. From the centre of Tye to the outskirts, grease filter exchange is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Tye is one of 683 places in Hampshire where we work for grease filter exchange.

Questions from Tye
Can you get to a site in Tye?
Yes, Tye is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which fire authority looks after Tye?
Fire safety enforcement in Tye is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Why deal with it now?
In Tye, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tye now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
