Grease filter exchange in West Tisted, done properly
Across West Tisted, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Typical jobs include drips falling from the filters onto equipment and missing filters in the filter bank, across island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

- Grease deep in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How we price grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in West Tisted
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In a place like West Tisted, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Fully insured
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Historic houses near West Tisted, such as Hinton Ampner House about 3.6 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near West Tisted, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.

Before we arrive

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in West Tisted

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for West Tisted?
West Tisted is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We will confirm it with the quote.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.

It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
