Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Staplers
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. If you have staff short of time to wash filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help, from mesh filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Staplers gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Staplers
Do you cover smaller places like Staplers?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Staplers included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Staplers be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Staplers keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote, usually within one working day.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Staplers
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, 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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Staplers

Staplers kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 62 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops across Staplers and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. In Staplers, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Isle of Wight council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Staplers is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul's Church, or anywhere in Staplers, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Barton Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Staplers is about 1 mile east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. We provide grease filter exchange for commercial premises of every kind in Staplers and the rest of the Isle of Wight.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Staplers?
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Carisbrooke Castle is about 1.9 miles south-west), access may need planning.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a place like Staplers, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
