Grease filter exchange in Wintershill, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have damaged filters letting grease past and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Wintershill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What affects the quote in Wintershill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Grease, kitchens and Wintershill
In Wintershill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Wintershill sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wyvern Technology College or anywhere near Wintershill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Wintershill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Questions from Wintershill
Which environmental health team covers Wintershill?
That is Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wintershill. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Wintershill within the area you cover?
Yes, Wintershill is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Wintershill
Long cooking hours in Wintershill or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Blocked baffle filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease left in baffles after washing
A hospital like Moorgreen Hospital, about 3.9 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
