About our grease filter exchange in Up Nately
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, on island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Up Nately, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Up Nately
Do you cover smaller places like Up Nately?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Up Nately is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Up Nately?
Up Nately is in the area of 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.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Grease, kitchens and Up Nately
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Up Nately. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Up Nately. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Up Nately. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St. Stephen or elsewhere in Up Nately, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Robert May's School or anywhere near Up Nately, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital is the nearest hospital to Up Nately, about 5.2 miles west.
