Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Little Ann
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
Somewhere as small as Little Ann, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Always run the extract while cooking
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Little Ann
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Little Ann, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What else we do in Little Ann
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Little Ann can be planned properly.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Little Ann
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. A planned visit to Little Ann is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
