In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Grease filter exchange in Hundred Acres
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Hundred Acres, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for grease collecting in the filter channels and missing filters in the filter bank, across island canopies, wall canopies and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Hundred Acres, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Hundred Acres
Wherever you are, Hundred Acres included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Hundred Acres, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a written report and photos are included
What affects the quote in Hundred Acres
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
