Newtown: your questions answered
Can you work in Newtown outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Newtown can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newtown?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Newtown. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Is Newtown in your area?
Yes. Newtown is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Newtown
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Newtown on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you are dealing with filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
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.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Grease, kitchens and Newtown
At about 1 mile from the coast, Newtown is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newtown. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Newtown is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mary's Hospital about 4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Swainston Manor is about 1.6 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Holy Spirit Church or anywhere around Newtown, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Newtown is about 4 miles west of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. From the centre of Newtown to the outskirts, we cover grease filter exchange for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our the Isle of Wight coverage runs to 125 places, Newtown among them. For sites nearby, see our Southampton page (14 miles or so).
Postcode districts we cover here for grease filter exchange: PO30. We also cover Locksgreen (1 mile east), Porchfield (1 mile north-east), Great Thorness (2 miles north-east), Forest Side (3 miles east) and Rew Street (4 miles north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Newport (4 miles east), Ryde (10 miles east), Cowes (5 miles north-east), Sandown (11 miles east), Shanklin (11 miles south-east) and Ventnor (11 miles south-east). If your site is somewhere remote, a little more planning is needed, so let us know when you get in touch.

Leave it or put it right?

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. The timing of a visit to Newtown is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Newtown
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
