How we handle grease filter exchange in Sparsholt
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you are dealing with grease building up behind the canopy filters and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Sparsholt starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the 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 and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sparsholt and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
FAQs for Sparsholt
Who inspects food businesses in Sparsholt?
In Sparsholt, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you get to a site in Sparsholt?
Yes, Sparsholt is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Sparsholt
Sparsholt is covered by 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. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Sparsholt. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Sparsholt, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sparsholt is Royal Hampshire County Hospital, about 2.5 miles south-east.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Common problems we fix in Sparsholt
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
What we are most often called out for:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy running with filters missing
School kitchens, at schools like Sparsholt Church of England Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sparsholt
For any kitchen in Sparsholt, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A planned visit to Sparsholt is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

What else we do in Sparsholt
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
