Grease filter exchange in Monxton, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. We’re often asked to deal with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and a greasy plenum behind the filters, across school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Monxton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What else we do in Monxton
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Monxton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
