What we do, step by step
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 well under an hour for most canopies. The timing of a visit to South Gorley is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive

Advice
Grease filter exchange in South Gorley
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about a greasy plenum behind the filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
Somewhere as small as South Gorley, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Report a dripping canopy early
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
Grease filter exchange around South Gorley
It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Gorley. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. South Gorley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hyde Church of England Primary School or anywhere near South Gorley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in South Gorley, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in South Gorley
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
What we are most often called out for:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in South Gorley, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before you book anyone

- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
