Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Grease filter exchange in Upper Burgate, done properly
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you’re dealing with a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help.
In a small place like Upper Burgate, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Why deal with it now?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Upper Burgate, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Upper Burgate run smoothly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Upper Burgate
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When to call us in Upper Burgate
Wherever you are, Upper Burgate included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Breamore House is about 1.6 miles north), access may need planning.

Common questions in Upper Burgate
Do you work at weekends in Upper Burgate?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Upper Burgate needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Upper Burgate?
Fire safety enforcement in Upper Burgate 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.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
