Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Winchfield
Across Winchfield, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
In a small place like Winchfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Winchfield kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 3 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Winchfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Winchfield. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Winchfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
A kitchen near Winchfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like Fleet Community Hospital, about 2.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oakwood Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Winchfield knowing what to expect.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Winchfield wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
