About our grease filter exchange in Titchfield
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can help, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Titchfield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like Titchfield, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Common questions in Titchfield
Who inspects food businesses in Titchfield?
Kitchens in Titchfield are inspected by Fareham council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Titchfield in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 10 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Titchfield. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Is Titchfield in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Titchfield.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.

How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Grease filter exchange around Titchfield
The coast is only about 2 miles from Titchfield. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 21 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Titchfield. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Titchfield. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
A hospital like Fareham Community Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Titchfield Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Titchfield, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Around Titchfield
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to West End House and The Henry Cort Community College. For rail, the closest station is Fareham station, about 2 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find St Andrew's Castle (3.5 miles west) and Fareham Shopping Centre (2.7 miles east). The countryside around Titchfield includes Holly Hill Woodland Park.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
