Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Rotherwick
In Rotherwick, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. We’re often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Rotherwick, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Rotherwick, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.

What affects the quote in Rotherwick
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Common questions in Rotherwick
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Rotherwick?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Rotherwick. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Who inspects food businesses in Rotherwick?
In Rotherwick, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Grease, kitchens and Rotherwick
The FSA’s data shows about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Rotherwick. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Rotherwick 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. It’s Hart council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rotherwick. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Whitewater Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Rotherwick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 3.2 miles north), access may need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Rotherwick Church, or anywhere in Rotherwick, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Rotherwick is about 6 miles west of Fleet, in Hampshire. Rotherwick gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. You can also see our page for Reading, roughly 10 miles from Rotherwick.

Landmarks near Rotherwick
Typical jobs here are in premises near Coach And Horses Public House, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Hook station, about 1.8 miles south. Other landmarks nearby include West Green House Agricultural Museum (1.8 miles east) and Fleet Community Hospital (5.5 miles east). For a walk, there’s Dogmersfield Lake and The Mill Field.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Planning a trip to Rotherwick ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
