Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Hordle
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Hordle, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for blocked baffle filters and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, across mesh filters, island canopies and baffle filters.
In a smaller place like Hordle, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Common problems we fix in Hordle
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease left in baffles after washing
For schools such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. In a place like Hordle, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Grease filter exchange around Hordle
Sea air reaches Hordle, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. There are about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hordle, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Food hygiene inspections in Hordle 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 dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Hordle, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Hordle, such as Highcliffe Castle about 4.4 miles west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Common questions in Hordle
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hordle in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Hordle. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Which environmental health team covers Hordle?
Kitchens in Hordle are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us for a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A change takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, so disruption is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you work in Hordle?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Hordle.
What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report a dripping canopy early
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
