Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Grease filter exchange in Denton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Denton on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about filters so greasy the air can barely pass and staff short of time to wash filters.
Kitchens around a place like Denton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Denton when you book.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

When to call us in Denton
Kitchens in Denton, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Leonard or elsewhere in Denton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Denton questions
Do you work overnight in Denton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Denton can fit around your hours. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Denton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Denton included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Booking now means the visit to Denton is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- In business since 2009
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Full insurance on every job

What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
What grease filter exchange looks like in Denton
Denton lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Salt in the air is hard on rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings, so we check them for corrosion as well as grease. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops across Denton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Denton. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Denton Community Primary School and Nursery for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital is the nearest hospital to Denton, about 1.5 miles south.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
