Grease filter exchange around Goodworth Clatford
Food hygiene inspections in Goodworth Clatford are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Goodworth Clatford. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Clatford Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Goodworth Clatford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Grease filter exchange in Goodworth Clatford
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Goodworth Clatford on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you are dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Goodworth Clatford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

The process
We are 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. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Goodworth Clatford.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system

Questions from Goodworth Clatford
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Goodworth Clatford?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Will you come out to Goodworth Clatford?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Goodworth Clatford is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Goodworth Clatford
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Goodworth Clatford is Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 2.7 miles north.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
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.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
