How we handle grease filter exchange in Winnall
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are blocked baffle filters and poor airflow through the filters.
For a smaller kitchen near Winnall, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Winnall, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Around Winnall, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Winnall kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 28 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Winnall. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Winnall. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Winnall, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Where a hall near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Winnall, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as Winnall Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Questions from Winnall
Do you cover smaller places like Winnall?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Winnall?
The local authority for Winnall is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though normally at a gentler pace.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a place like Winnall, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

When to call us in Winnall
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St John's Rooms And Chapel is the nearest hospital to Winnall, about 0.6 miles south-west.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the figure could change on the day
