- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

What grease filter exchange cannot fix

If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Church Hanborough, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

What we are called out for in Church Hanborough

- Poor airflow through the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Blocked baffle filters
If you cook for passing trade around Hanborough station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
