About our grease filter exchange in Weavers Down
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for a canopy running with filters missing and blocked baffle filters, on island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
Work in a small place like Weavers Down starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Questions from Weavers Down
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weavers Down?
The local authority for Weavers Down is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Weavers Down?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Weavers Down. 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That is the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We give you a fixed quote before the service starts.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll confirm it on site.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it 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 we’ll tell you what to expect.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.

How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
Want a quote for grease filter exchange? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself 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 Weavers Down.
- 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.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
