About our grease filter exchange in Wecock Farm
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you’re dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Wecock Farm, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
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.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in Wecock Farm needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Wecock Farm at a time that suits you.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

When to call us in Wecock Farm
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Havant War Memorial Hospital about 3.8 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Wecock Farm
Food Standards Agency records list about 40 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Wecock Farm, up to about a mile and a half out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Wecock Farm. 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 Wecock Farm get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For schools such as Woodcroft Primary, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Hart Plain Church or elsewhere in Wecock Farm, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.

The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.

It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We will confirm it with the quote.
