Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Maids Moreton
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Maids Moreton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
When to call us in Maids Moreton
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Stowe House, about 2.3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Maids Moreton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Questions from Maids Moreton
Can school kitchens in Maids Moreton be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Maids Moreton. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Maids Moreton?
Yes, Maids Moreton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the first visit.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Maids Moreton, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.

What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
