Grease, kitchens and Odiham
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Odiham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Odiham is 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 Odiham get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Mayhill Junior School or anywhere near Odiham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Fleet Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Odiham, about 4.5 miles north-east.

Grease filter exchange in Odiham, done properly
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with drips falling from the filters onto equipment and blocked baffle filters, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Odiham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
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.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Odiham
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Odiham in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Odiham, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Is Odiham within the area you cover?
Yes, Odiham is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away. That’s how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Odiham
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How big the system is
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a place like Odiham are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Common problems we fix in Odiham
Kitchens in Odiham, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Odiham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
