Grease filter exchange in Ossemsley, Hampshire

Why deal with it now?
In Ossemsley, 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. Planning a trip to Ossemsley ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Grease filter exchange in Ossemsley
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Ossemsley on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have poor airflow through the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Work in a small place like Ossemsley starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes less than an hour in most kitchens. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ossemsley run smoothly.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Ossemsley questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Ossemsley in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 2 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Ossemsley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you get to a site in Ossemsley?
Yes, Ossemsley is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Most changes take well under an hour for most canopies, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever we can.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Grease, kitchens and Ossemsley
Sea air reaches Ossemsley, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Ossemsley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. In Ossemsley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Where a hall near St John, or anywhere in Ossemsley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital, about 5.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Ossemsley is about 2 miles north of New Milton, in Hampshire.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Ossemsley
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ballard School or anywhere near Ossemsley, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
