Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Alderholt
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Alderholt, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for a greasy plenum behind the filters and grease filters clogged with grease, on wall canopies, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a smaller place like Alderholt, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. When a site near Alderholt shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Everything the job in Alderholt needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Alderholt
Food hygiene inspections in Alderholt are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Alderholt falls to 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Alderholt (Breamore House is about 4.5 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St James or elsewhere in Alderholt, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as St James' Church of England First School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Questions from Alderholt
Do you work at weekends in Alderholt?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Alderholt can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Alderholt?
Fire safety enforcement in Alderholt is handled by 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 far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote, typically within one working day.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
