What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Afton Park
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are grease left in baffles after washing and weak extraction at the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Afton Park, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
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.

What affects the quote in Afton Park
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, 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 anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Afton Park.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

When to call us in Afton Park
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Afton Park (Mottistone Manor is about 3.8 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones on the visit.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, or we will check on the first visit.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though usually at a gentler pace.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.

Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Why book with us
- Trading since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Grease filter exchange in Afton Park: the local picture
Sea air reaches Afton Park, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in and around Afton Park, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Afton Park sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as All Saints Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Agnes' Church or elsewhere in Afton Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
