Grease filter exchange in Nob's Crook
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you are dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help, from wall canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Nob's Crook
Which fire service covers Nob's Crook?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Nob's Crook. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Which environmental health team covers Nob's Crook?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nob's Crook. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we’ll adjust it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will confirm it on site.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
When to call us in Nob's Crook
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Historic houses near Nob's Crook, such as South Stoneham House about 4.6 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Always run the extract while cooking
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Somewhere as small as Nob's Crook, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
