Advice
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Titchfield Common
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. We’re often asked to deal with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and poor airflow through the filters, on mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Titchfield Common gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why act early in Titchfield Common
In Titchfield Common, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
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 give you a fixed price before we start.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Titchfield Common
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Titchfield Common?
That’s Fareham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Titchfield Common. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Titchfield Common?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Titchfield Common than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Titchfield Common
At about 2 miles from the coast, Titchfield Common is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 12 pubs and bars in and around Titchfield Common, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Titchfield Common sits within the area of 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.
For schools such as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Fareham Community Hospital, about 1.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Titchfield Common is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
What affects the quote in Titchfield Common
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition we find in the survey
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Titchfield Common
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Where a hall near St John, or anywhere in Titchfield Common, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
