What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Knights Enham
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include grease filters clogged with grease and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, across mesh filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Questions from Knights Enham
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Knights Enham during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 8 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Knights Enham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Knights Enham?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Knights Enham. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
What does TR19 mean?
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 you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will explain the options when you get in touch.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Knights Enham kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 19 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Knights Enham, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Knights Enham is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Knights Enham get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Knights Enham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Andover War Memorial Hospital about 1.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Roman Way Primary School or anywhere near Knights Enham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Knights Enham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Look out for drips from the canopy
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Knights Enham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
