- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Common problems we fix in Haylands
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Gosport War Memorial Hospital about 5.3 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the price is fixed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
How we handle grease filter exchange in Haylands
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Typical jobs include blocked baffle filters and damaged filters letting grease past, across school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and island canopies.
Kitchens around a place like Haylands are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters

The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Haylands when you book.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
Grease filter exchange in Haylands: the local picture
At about 2 miles from the coast, Haylands is close enough for sea air to matter. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food Standards Agency data counts about 50 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Haylands. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Haylands is covered by 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.
Commuter trade near Ryde St Johns Road station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Haylands, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Haylands is about 1 mile south-west of Ryde, in the Isle of Wight. For grease filter exchange in and around Haylands, please call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What else we do in Haylands
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Haylands
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Haylands in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Haylands. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Haylands?
It can. Salt air reaches Haylands, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. A site near Haylands that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

What affects the quote in Haylands
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
