Grease filter exchange in Chillerton, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. We’re often asked to deal with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, on baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Chillerton, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Chillerton
Can you work in Chillerton outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Chillerton needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which fire service covers Chillerton?
Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Chillerton. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Do you work in Chillerton?
Yes. We work in Chillerton and the rest of the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Kitchen extracts in Chillerton
The FSA’s data shows about 3 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered in Chillerton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. The fire and rescue service for Chillerton is 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. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chillerton. 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.

What happens on the day
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. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere like Chillerton, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in Chillerton
Washing filters by hand doesn’t 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 are asked about most are:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy that drips grease
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Chillerton (Sheat Manor is about 0.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
