Grease filter exchange across Peel Common and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Grease filter exchange in Peel Common
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Typical jobs include filters that come out of the sink still dirty and a greasy plenum behind the filters, on wall canopies, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
In a small place like Peel Common, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What happens if it’s left?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Peel Common kitchens: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Peel Common. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. There are about 37 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 21 takeaways in Peel Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, 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. Peel Common is covered by 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.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Peel Common is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 2.8 miles south-east. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Peel Common Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common problems we fix in Peel Common
Long cooking hours in Peel Common or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Peel Common Mission Church, or anywhere in Peel Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Peel Common, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

FAQs for Peel Common
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Peel Common?
That’s 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.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Peel Common?
The local authority for Peel Common is Gosport council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff do not have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will give you a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
