Kitchen extracts in New Alresford
Food Standards Agency records list about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens in New Alresford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Kitchens in New Alresford get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. New Alresford sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sun Hill Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Hinton Ampner House is about 3 miles south), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St John the Baptist or anywhere around New Alresford, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How we handle grease filter exchange in New Alresford
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you have staff short of time to wash filters and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like New Alresford gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Around New Alresford, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
In New Alresford, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. When a site near New Alresford shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
What affects the quote in New Alresford
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
