When to call us in Bradwell Abbey
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bradwell Village School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bradwell Abbey
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. We’re often asked to deal with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and a canopy that drips grease, on baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies.
Somewhere as small as Bradwell Abbey, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Fire safety in Bradwell Abbey falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Linford Manor, about 2.3 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Bradwell Abbey; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Why act early in Bradwell Abbey

How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Bradwell Abbey: your questions answered
Can you work in Bradwell Abbey outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Bradwell Abbey does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Bradwell Abbey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bradwell Abbey is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes well under an hour for most canopies. Visits to a village like Bradwell Abbey are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
