How it works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Priddy's Hard knowing what to expect.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Advice
How we handle grease filter exchange in Priddy's Hard
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. If you have poor airflow through the filters and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right, from mesh filters, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
In a small place like Priddy's Hard, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Questions from Priddy's Hard
Can school kitchens in Priddy's Hard be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 26 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Priddy's Hard. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Priddy's Hard?
Kitchens in Priddy's Hard are inspected by Gosport council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How much notice should we give?
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Grease filter exchange in Priddy's Hard: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Priddy's Hard is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The Food Standards Agency lists about 58 pubs and bars and about 8 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Priddy's Hard. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Priddy's Hard 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 Church of St Mary or anywhere around Priddy's Hard, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Vincent College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Priddy's Hard is Gosport War Memorial Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Priddy's Hard
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What happens if it’s left?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Priddy's Hard, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Priddy's Hard rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
