Horseport grease filter exchange
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Horseport, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere as small as Horseport, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Horseport
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you are dealing with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Horseport, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the quote in Horseport
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Horseport
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Horseport. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Horseport get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. The fire and rescue service for Horseport is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Horseport, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Fordingbridge Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Horseport is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Horseport
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Gaps where filters have been removed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Horseport (Breamore House is about 3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Horseport questions
Do you work in villages like Horseport?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Horseport included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Horseport?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Horseport doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. 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.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
