About our grease filter exchange in Ledborough
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease building up behind the canopy filters and grease left in baffles after washing.
Work in a small place like Ledborough starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.

Grease filter exchange in Ledborough: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 11 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ledborough. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Ledborough. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Ledborough get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary and All Saints CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Ledborough is Chalfonts and Gerrards Cross Hospital, about 3.2 miles east. A kitchen near Beaconsfield station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

FAQs for Ledborough
Do you cover smaller places like Ledborough?
Yes, Ledborough is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Ledborough out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 14 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Ledborough. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Most changes take well under an hour for most canopies, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ledborough.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. If the system at a site near Ledborough fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
