Grease filter exchange in Upper Street
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Typical jobs include bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, across wall canopies, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
Grease filter exchange in Upper Street: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Upper Street, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Upper Street is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Upper Street get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest 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.
Historic houses near Upper Street, such as Breamore House about 0.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Breamore Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Salisbury District Hospital, about 5.5 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Upper Street
Which fire service covers Upper Street?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Upper Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Street is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote quickly.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Upper Street
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. A planned visit to Upper Street is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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 work begins, so you know where you stand.

How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Upper Street.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
