What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Sutton Scotney before we set off.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Grease filter exchange in Sutton Scotney, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow through the filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
For a kitchen in or near Sutton Scotney, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Other services in Sutton Scotney
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sutton Scotney
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. A planned visit to Sutton Scotney is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Grease, kitchens and Sutton Scotney
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Sutton Scotney and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sutton Scotney. 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. Sutton Scotney sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For kitchens in and around Sutton Scotney, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Ebenezer Methodist Chapel or elsewhere in Sutton Scotney, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

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.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Sutton Scotney questions
Which environmental health team covers Sutton Scotney?
The local authority for Sutton Scotney is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Sutton Scotney?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Sutton Scotney keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Are you accredited?
We’re 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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
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.
What staff can safely do
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’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
