Grease filter exchange in Fishbourne, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have damaged filters letting grease past and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can put it right, from island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Fishbourne, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

The process
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, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Fishbourne can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for 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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When to call us in Fishbourne
Washing filters by hand does not 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Blocked baffle filters
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
For schools such as Wootton Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What insurance they carry
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Fishbourne and across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Fishbourne kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Fishbourne, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Fishbourne. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Fishbourne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Edmund's Church, or anywhere in Fishbourne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Historic houses near Fishbourne, such as Osborne House about 2.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Fishbourne is about 2 miles west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight.
