Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in West Green
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow through the filters and gaps where filters have been removed.
Somewhere as small as West Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in West Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 13 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across West Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. West Green sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Where a hall near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in West Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Greenfields Junior School or anywhere near West Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Do you need grease filter exchange in West Green?
Kitchens in West Green, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Common questions in West Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West Green?
Food hygiene inspections in West Green are carried out by Hart council. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for West Green?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers West Green. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It does not. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when we quote.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Managing agents and facilities teams in West Green
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to West Green.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading
