Why deal with it now?
In Wroxall, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. If the system at a site near Wroxall fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Wroxall
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you are dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Wroxall, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Common problems we fix in Wroxall
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wroxall (Rylstone Manor is about 2.2 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though typically at a gentler pace.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
Grease, kitchens and Wroxall
Wroxall is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Food hygiene inspections in Wroxall are the job of Isle of Wight council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Wroxall is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (about 2.3 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Wroxall Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Wroxall is about 7 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Across the PO38 area, we can take on grease filter exchange.

Wroxall questions
Can sea air affect grease filter exchange in Wroxall?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Wroxall gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can a school canteen extract in Wroxall be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wroxall. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you work in Wroxall?
Yes. Our technicians work in Wroxall, within the South East and London area we cover.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
