How we handle grease filter exchange in Heath End
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Heath End, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
In a small place like Heath End, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What affects the quote in Heath End
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Heath End can be planned properly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
