How we handle grease filter exchange in West Liss
An exchange visit in West Liss does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about gaps where filters have been removed and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
For a kitchen in or near West Liss, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens

Grease filter exchange around West Liss
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Liss. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. West Liss sits within the area of 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. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Liss. 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.
Commuter trade near Liss station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in West Liss, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

West Liss questions
Do you work at weekends in West Liss?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in West Liss can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for West Liss?
West Liss is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do you cover West Liss?
Yes. We work in West Liss and the rest of Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like West Liss, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

When to call us in West Liss
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A canopy that drips grease
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Petersfield Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though normally at a gentler pace.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Liss
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. If the system at a site near West Liss fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
