Questions from Puckpool
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Puckpool?
The local authority for Puckpool is Isle of Wight council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Puckpool?
Puckpool is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is Puckpool in your area?
Yes. We cover Puckpool and across the Isle of Wight, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out, so we swap them in one go.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Puckpool
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have blocked baffle filters and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right.
In a small place like Puckpool, 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 paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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. Leave those to us.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Puckpool, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Puckpool, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. A fault that closes a site in a village like Puckpool affects everyone who depends on it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Puckpool kitchens: local notes
Puckpool lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. The FSA’s data shows about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 9 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered in Puckpool and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council inspect food businesses in Puckpool. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Church or elsewhere in Puckpool, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Nunwell House is about 3.1 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Gosport War Memorial Hospital is the nearest hospital to Puckpool, about 4.7 miles north.
