Grease filter exchange in Marsh Green, done properly
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Common call-outs are for drips falling from the filters onto equipment and a canopy running with filters missing, on baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters.
Work in a small place like Marsh Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Marsh Green
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease left in baffles after washing
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Marsh Green is Whitecroft Hospital, about 5 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether a survey comes first

What else we do in Marsh Green
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Marsh Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Marsh Green
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Grease filter exchange in Marsh Green: the local picture
At about 1 mile from the coast, Marsh Green 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. Look up Marsh Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Marsh Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Fire safety in Marsh Green falls to Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Marsh Green, such as Mottistone Manor about 1.5 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Marsh Green: your questions answered
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Marsh Green?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Marsh Green than inland. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you work overnight in Marsh Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Is Marsh Green in your area?
Yes. We work in Marsh Green and across the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
