Grease filter exchange in Noke Common, done properly
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. We are often asked to deal with a canopy running with filters missing and grease building up behind the canopy filters, on island canopies, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common questions in Noke Common
Can school kitchens in Noke Common be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 14 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Noke Common. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you cover smaller places like Noke Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Noke Common included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
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. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Noke Common
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Noke Common run smoothly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Why deal with it now?
In Noke Common, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. It’s simpler to plan the work at Noke Common now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Common problems we fix in Noke Common
Long cooking hours in Noke Common or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease filters clogged with grease
A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about 0.8 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before booking
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Grease filter exchange in Noke Common: the local picture
Noke Common lies within about 3 miles 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. Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Noke Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Noke Common. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St. John the Baptist, or anywhere in Noke Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. School kitchens, at schools like Hunnyhill Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
