Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Middle Wallop
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you’re dealing with blocked baffle filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Middle Wallop starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Middle Wallop.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What affects the quote in Middle Wallop
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Middle Wallop questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Middle Wallop?
Fire safety enforcement in Middle Wallop is handled by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is Middle Wallop within the area you cover?
Yes. Middle Wallop is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we’ll quote, typically within one working day.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease, kitchens and Middle Wallop
Middle Wallop is covered by 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. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Middle Wallop. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Middle Wallop, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
