- Damaged filters letting grease past
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a village or hamlet like Alverstoke, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Alverstoke
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Alverstoke, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy that drips grease.
For a kitchen in or near Alverstoke, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Alverstoke: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Alverstoke?
Yes, Alverstoke is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Alverstoke?
The local authority for Alverstoke is Gosport council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
In Alverstoke, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange around Alverstoke
Alverstoke lies within about 1 mile of the sea. 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 27 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and guest houses in and around Alverstoke, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Alverstoke is covered by 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Little Church, or anywhere in Alverstoke, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Alverstoke Community Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 0.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
