Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Clayhall
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. Common call-outs are for blocked baffle filters and grease building up behind the canopy filters, across restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies.
For a smaller kitchen near Clayhall, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What affects the quote in Clayhall
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Clayhall
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
A hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1 mile north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Everything the job in Clayhall needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A planned visit to Clayhall fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Clayhall
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Clayhall?
Food hygiene inspections in Clayhall are carried out by Gosport council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Clayhall?
It can, as Clayhall is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll confirm it on site.
Grease, kitchens and Clayhall
Sea air reaches Clayhall, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 40 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Clayhall. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Gosport council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Clayhall. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Haselworth Primary School or anywhere near Clayhall, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Where a hall near St Francis, or anywhere in Clayhall, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
