Grease filter exchange in Carisbrooke
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you have damaged filters letting grease past and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can help.
For a smaller kitchen near Carisbrooke, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Carisbrooke?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Poor airflow through the filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near St. Mary's Church or anywhere around Carisbrooke, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Carisbrooke kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 pubs and bars and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Carisbrooke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Carisbrooke, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Carisbrooke. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Carisbrooke Castle, about 0.3 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Carisbrooke; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 1.5 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Carisbrooke is about 1 mile south-west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. If you need grease filter exchange in Carisbrooke, please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote.

We also work in nearby towns such as Ryde (7 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north), Sandown (7 miles east), Shanklin (7 miles south-east), Ventnor (8 miles south-east) and East Cowes (5 miles north).

Local landmarks in Carisbrooke
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Christ The King College, Seaclose Park and Island Innovation VI Form Campus and the streets around them. A little further out are Isle of Wight Music Museum (1.1 miles north-east) and Carisbrooke Castle (within half a mile south-east). Green spaces nearby include Briddlesford Nature Reserve and Brighstone Down.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Carisbrooke
Can the work in Carisbrooke be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Carisbrooke needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Carisbrooke?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Carisbrooke. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is Carisbrooke in your area?
Yes. Carisbrooke is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What affects the quote in Carisbrooke
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
If you need grease filter exchange in Carisbrooke, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
How it works
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Carisbrooke, so let us know how to reach it.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system

Why deal with it now?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- We’re fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
