Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Yarmouth
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. Typical jobs include drips falling from the filters onto equipment and damaged filters letting grease past, on mesh filters, baffle filters and wall canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Yarmouth knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

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.
Related advice
What we’re called out for in Yarmouth
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
School kitchens, at schools like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether they recommend a next date
What else we do in Yarmouth
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Yarmouth questions
Do you work in villages like Yarmouth?
Yes. Yarmouth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Yarmouth?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Yarmouth can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. If the system at a site near Yarmouth fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Yarmouth kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 1 mile from Yarmouth. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs registered across Yarmouth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Yarmouth sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. James' Church or elsewhere in Yarmouth, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Mottistone Manor is about 4.8 miles south-east), access may need planning.
