For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
About our grease filter exchange in Kimpton
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kimpton questions
Which environmental health team covers Kimpton?
Kitchens in Kimpton are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Kimpton?
Kimpton is in the area of 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 I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is Kimpton in your area?
Yes. We work in Kimpton and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.

What else we do in Kimpton
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Kimpton before we set off.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What affects the quote in Kimpton
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Kimpton kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Kimpton get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Kimpton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital, about 4.6 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Kimpton is about 5 miles west of Andover, in Hampshire.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Wall canopies

When to call us in Kimpton
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Poor airflow through the filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Kimpton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
