Why deal with it now?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. Somewhere as small as Dunsbury, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Dunsbury
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. Common call-outs are for filters that come out of the sink still dirty and gaps where filters have been removed, on mesh filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Dunsbury, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
What affects the quote in Dunsbury
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos 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. We usually come back within one working day.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Report a dripping canopy early
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Dunsbury can be planned properly.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Dunsbury
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Dunsbury?
It can, as Dunsbury is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which fire service covers Dunsbury?
Dunsbury is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Dunsbury
The coast is only about 1 mile from Dunsbury. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Kitchens in Dunsbury get their food hygiene inspections from Isle of Wight council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Dunsbury falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Dunsbury, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Historic houses near Dunsbury, such as Mottistone Manor about 1.2 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
