How we handle grease filter exchange in Warborne
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. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about gaps where filters have been removed and grease filters clogged with grease.
In a village or hamlet like Warborne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Warborne, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Warborne is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Warborne, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Warborne questions
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Warborne?
It can. Warborne is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Warborne?
In Warborne, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that’s an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Warborne
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease filter exchange around Warborne
At about 2 miles from the coast, Warborne 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 list about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways in and around Warborne, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Warborne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Warborne is Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 0.5 miles south-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Beaulieu Palace House is about 4.9 miles north-east), access may need planning. For schools such as Southlands School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
