Part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Twyford
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and damaged filters letting grease past, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies onwards.
In a small place like Twyford, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

FAQs for Twyford
Which council inspects kitchens in Twyford?
Food hygiene inspections in Twyford are carried out by Winchester City council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Do you cover smaller places like Twyford?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Twyford included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff do not have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Twyford and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

Do you need grease filter exchange in Twyford?
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Look out for any of the following:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Twyford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Grease filter exchange around Twyford
Look up Twyford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Twyford. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Food hygiene inspections in Twyford are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Twyford 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Twyford St Mary's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St John's Rooms And Chapel about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
