Common problems we fix in Micheldever Station
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 it needs more frequent changes.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
In and around Micheldever Station, as anywhere, the clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Why deal with it now?
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

- A written report with pictures after each visit
- In business since 2009

What affects the quote in Micheldever Station
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Managing agents and facilities teams in Micheldever Station
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it

How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and we clear up before we go. The timing of a visit to Micheldever Station is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
