Isle of Wight · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Ventnor, Isle of Wight
We cover Ventnor for grease filter exchange. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Ventnor
An exchange visit in Ventnor does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you’re dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and wall canopies onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Ventnor are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Advice
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the quote in Ventnor
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line 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. We typically come back within one working day.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Ventnor
Do you work in villages like Ventnor?
Yes, Ventnor is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is grease filter exchange any different in a coastal place like Ventnor?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Ventnor gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange does not take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What we’re called out for in Ventnor
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Ventnor (Rylstone Manor is about 2.6 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Ventnor, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A quieter site near Ventnor still needs its system looked after.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Grease filter exchange in Ventnor: the local picture
The coast is only about 1 mile from Ventnor. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. Look up Ventnor on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 27 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ventnor. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Food hygiene inspections in Ventnor are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Catherine's School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children is the nearest hospital to Ventnor, about 3 miles north-east.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
