When to call us in Southford
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St. Mary and St. Radegund, or anywhere in Southford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Southford
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you’re dealing with bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies onwards.
Somewhere as small as Southford, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Kitchen extracts in Southford
The coast is only about 2 miles from Southford. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Southford. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Southford get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Southford (Sheat Manor is about 3.7 miles north), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 4.5 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What else we do in Southford
Why deal with it now?
In Southford, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Planning a trip to Southford ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Southford questions
Do you work overnight in Southford?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Southford can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work in villages like Southford?
Yes, Southford is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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. That is our job.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
