How we handle grease filter exchange in Wymering
Across Wymering, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. Common call-outs are for filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, across school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Kitchens around a place like Wymering are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Grease, kitchens and Wymering
At about 1 mile from the coast, Wymering is close enough for sea air to matter. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wymering. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Wymering, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Portsmouth council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Queen Alexandra Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wymering, about under half a mile north-east. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Wymering, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Wymering
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy that drips grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
If you cook for passing trade around Cosham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. Your opening hours decide when we come to Wymering, not ours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
