Kitchen extracts in Wootton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Wootton. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Wootton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Wootton is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John or elsewhere in Wootton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Avon Tyrrell House is about 3.2 miles west), access may need planning.

Grease filter exchange in Wootton, done properly
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Wootton, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Wootton
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Wootton?
The local authority for Wootton is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can you work in Wootton outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Wootton needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere like Wootton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Wootton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
When to call us in Wootton
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Blocked baffle filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Lymington New Forest Hospital is the nearest hospital to Wootton, about 5.5 miles east.
What your quote should include
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- What insurance they carry

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Wootton and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease deep in the extract system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Wootton
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
