Grease filter exchange in Luccombe Village
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. We are often asked to deal with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and grease filters clogged with grease, on school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters.
For a kitchen in or near Luccombe Village, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Luccombe Village.
- 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.
How to prepare

Advice
How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Luccombe Village
Can a school canteen extract in Luccombe Village be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Luccombe Village. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Luccombe Village?
It’s Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Luccombe Village. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. A planned visit to Luccombe Village is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What else we do in Luccombe Village
Kitchen extracts in Luccombe Village
Luccombe Village lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 51 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops in Luccombe Village and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Luccombe Village. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
School kitchens, at schools like St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Blasius Church or elsewhere in Luccombe Village, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

When to call us in Luccombe Village
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Blocked baffle filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
A hospital like Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children, about 1.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
