About our grease filter exchange in Winford
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. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right, from mesh filters, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Winford, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Leave it or put it right?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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.

Grease, kitchens and Winford
Winford lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Winford. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Winford 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Winford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Newchurch Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Winford is about 5 miles south of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Winford to the outskirts, we cover grease filter exchange for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 125 places in the Isle of Wight are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. There’s also a page for Portsmouth, roughly 12 miles from Winford.

Questions from Winford
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Winford?
That is Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Winford. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you work in Winford outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Winford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is Winford in your area?
Yes. We cover Winford and the rest of the Isle of Wight, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Common problems we fix in Winford
Long cooking hours in Winford or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
What we are most often called out for:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A canopy that drips grease
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Haseley Manor is about 1.4 miles north-west), access may need planning.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the price is fixed
How the visit works
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 are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. In a small place like Winford, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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 filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
