Grease filter exchange in Brockenhurst
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a place like Brockenhurst are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease filter exchange around Brockenhurst
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brockenhurst. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Brockenhurst get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Brockenhurst falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A kitchen near Brockenhurst station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Brockenhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Questions from Brockenhurst
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Brockenhurst?
Fire safety enforcement in Brockenhurst is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Brockenhurst after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll show you which ones on the visit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a smaller place like Brockenhurst, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
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
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is typically the tightest.

When to call us in Brockenhurst
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease left in baffles after washing
School kitchens, at schools like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
