Isle of Wight · Grease filter exchange
Parkhurst grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Parkhurst. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
Why deal with it now?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

About our grease filter exchange in Parkhurst
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with poor airflow through the filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can put it right.
In a small place like Parkhurst, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
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 else we do in Parkhurst
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report a dripping canopy early
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Parkhurst
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Blocked baffle filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Hunnyhill Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Parkhurst kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs, bars and clubs and about 6 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Parkhurst and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Parkhurst 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. Food hygiene inspections in Parkhurst are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Parkhurst (Carisbrooke Castle is about 2.1 miles south), fitting access panels needs care. A hospital like St Mary's Hospital, about less than half a mile south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Parkhurst
Can you come to Parkhurst after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Parkhurst needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Parkhurst?
That is Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will confirm it on site.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
