About our grease filter exchange in Stuckton
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are grease building up behind the canopy filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Somewhere as small as Stuckton, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Other services in Stuckton
Grease, kitchens and Stuckton
Look up Stuckton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways across Stuckton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Stuckton is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Stuckton are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. 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 run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Breamore House is about 3.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. For schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Holy Ascension or elsewhere in Stuckton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Stuckton: your questions answered
Is Stuckton within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stuckton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Stuckton?
The local authority for Stuckton is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll confirm it on site.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Stuckton wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Somewhere as small as Stuckton, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Stuckton can be planned properly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
