Grease filter exchange in Wootton
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Wootton, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you’re dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and missing filters in the filter bank, we can help.
In a smaller place like Wootton, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Kitchen extracts in Wootton
The coast is only about 2 miles from Wootton. Corrosion on the fan housing and cowl is worth a look at every clean, alongside the grease. Food Standards Agency records include about 6 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Wootton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Isle of Wight council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wootton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Osborne House is about 2.2 miles north-west), access may need planning. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Edmund's Church or elsewhere in Wootton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

FAQs for Wootton
Can you come to Wootton after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Wootton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Wootton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wootton included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on the amount of work, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
