Grease, kitchens and Wildmoor
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wildmoor. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Wildmoor sits within the area of 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 Wildmoor are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like The Loddon School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital (about 4.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St. Leonard or anywhere around Wildmoor, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Wildmoor
In Wildmoor, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can help.
In a small place like Wildmoor, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Wildmoor
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. For a village or hamlet like Wildmoor, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Wildmoor questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Wildmoor?
Kitchens in Wildmoor are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work in villages like Wildmoor?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when we quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
