Grease filter exchange in the Isle of Wight: how it works

Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease collecting in the filter channels and grease filters clogged with grease.

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.

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.

What affects the price in the Isle of Wight

How to get a quote

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, you get a fixed price before we start.

Around Newport

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Seaclose Park, Castle Inn and Island Innovation VI Form Campus, among other places. Also close by are Christ The King College (0.6 miles south-west) and Nine Acres Primary School (within half a mile south). Other landmarks nearby include Carisbrooke Castle (1 mile south-west) and St Mary's Hospital (0.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Mill Hill.

Where we work in the Isle of Wight

From Newport, Ryde and Cowes to its smaller places, the Isle of Wight has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

Across England, including the Isle of Wight, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book. Coastal kitchens in the Isle of Wight often have their busiest months in the summer, so cleaning is often best booked before or after the peak season.

Newport: If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Newport (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1 mile south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Newport is St Mary's Hospital, about 0.8 miles north.

When it’s something else

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
A canopy that needs a proper clean
Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach

Looking after it afterwards

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Never cook with the extract switched off
Watch for grease drips between visits
Don’t refit a filter that’s bent

If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.

Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

Leave it or put it right?

When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be.

Managing agents and facilities teams in the Isle of Wight

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Common problems we fix in the Isle of Wight

What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.

Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:

Grease filters clogged with grease
Weak extraction at the canopy
Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Filters left unwashed on busy weeks

Your questions about grease filter exchange in the Isle of Wight

How long will you be on site?

Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.

How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?

The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we will adjust it.

What if some of our filters are damaged?

Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

What accreditations do you have?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Do I get a report after the visit?

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.
