Questions from Godshill
Do you work in villages like Godshill?
Yes, Godshill is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Godshill outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Godshill keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Grease filter exchange in Godshill, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Godshill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Godshill wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Godshill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere like Godshill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t 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 it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

Common problems we fix in Godshill
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Godshill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of insurance
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Grease filter exchange around Godshill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Godshill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. The fire and rescue service for Godshill is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Godshill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Godshill is Whitecroft Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-west. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Sheat Manor is about 2.5 miles north-west), access may need planning.
