The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere like Setley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
About our grease filter exchange in Setley
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy plenum behind the filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
In a village or hamlet like Setley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Setley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though normally at a gentler pace.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Setley kitchens: local notes
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Setley, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kitchens in Setley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Setley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Lymington New Forest Hospital about 2.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around Brockenhurst station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Landmarks near Setley
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Foresters Arms and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Brockenhurst station, roughly 0.6 miles north of the centre. A little further out are St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (3.6 miles south) and Lymington New Forest Hospital (2.9 miles south-east).
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Setley
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Setley?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Setley. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you come to Setley after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Setley keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover Setley?
Yes. We cover Setley and across Hampshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, 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.
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.
