About our grease filter exchange in Botolph Claydon
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled straight away. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about grease filters clogged with grease and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Botolph Claydon run smoothly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. A fault that closes a site in a village like Botolph Claydon affects everyone who depends on it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Botolph Claydon
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Botolph Claydon, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
