Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Foreland Fields
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help, from wall canopies, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Foreland Fields, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. The timing of a visit to Foreland Fields is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Foreland Fields
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
For schools such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Foreland Fields
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
Foreland Fields questions
Does being near the coast affect grease filter exchange in Foreland Fields?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Foreland Fields gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you come to Foreland Fields after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Foreland Fields keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
What affects the quote in Foreland Fields
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Grease filter exchange around Foreland Fields
Sea air reaches Foreland Fields, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Foreland Fields, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Foreland Fields sits within the area of 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.
