Grease, kitchens and Palestine
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Palestine. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Palestine, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Palestine, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Grateley Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Palestine is in Hampshire. Palestine gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Southampton, about 20 miles from Palestine.

About our grease filter exchange in Palestine
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across wall canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters.
In a small place like Palestine, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Palestine
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
If you run a café or takeaway near Grateley station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
What your quote should include
- Whether the price is fixed
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they’re fully insured

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Palestine before we set off.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Palestine
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Palestine?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can the work in Palestine be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Palestine doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What types of filter do you exchange?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, or we will check on the first visit.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Why deal with it now?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. With notice, the visit to Palestine can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
