Grease filter exchange in Rew Street
Across Rew Street, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. If you have gaps where filters have been removed and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Rew Street, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Rew Street
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Rew Street
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common problems we fix in Rew Street
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Osborne House is about 2.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Rew Street: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Rew Street?
That’s Isle of Wight council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rew Street. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Rew Street out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 5 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Rew Street, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date 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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
Kitchen extracts in Rew Street
Rew Street lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. Look up Rew Street on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Rew Street. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Rew Street. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
For schools such as Northwood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mary's Hospital (about 2.8 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across the Isle of Wight. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
