In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Grease filter exchange in Langley, done properly
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are staff short of time to wash filters and a canopy that drips grease.
In a smaller place like Langley, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Everything the job in Langley needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

Questions from Langley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Langley?
