The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and grease dripping from the canopy.

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
If you need grease filter exchange in Curteis' Corner, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
