Why it’s worth doing now in Portsmouth Point
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

About our grease filter exchange in Portsmouth Point
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Portsmouth Point, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have poor airflow through the filters and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Portsmouth Point, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Portsmouth Point: your questions answered
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Portsmouth Point?
It can. Salt air reaches Portsmouth Point, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Portsmouth Point?
Portsmouth Point is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange does not take long, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a place like Portsmouth Point, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Related advice
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

Other services in Portsmouth Point
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Portsmouth Point
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Portsmouth Garrison church or elsewhere in Portsmouth Point, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Grease filter exchange around Portsmouth Point
Portsmouth Point is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 287 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 101 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Portsmouth Point. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Portsmouth Point is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Royal Portsmouth Hospital (about 1 mile north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Jude's CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
