Naphill grease filter exchange
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Naphill, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
How we handle grease filter exchange in Naphill
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Naphill, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Naphill, 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.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Naphill run smoothly.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. If the system at a site near Naphill fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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 we will price it together.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
FAQs for Naphill
Is Naphill within the area you cover?
Yes. Naphill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Naphill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Naphill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Grease, kitchens and Naphill
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Naphill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Naphill are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Naphill falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Naphill is Wycombe Hospital, about 3 miles south. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Naphill and Walters Ash School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Naphill
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Look out for any of the following:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Blocked baffle filters
Hughenden Manor, about 1.5 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Naphill; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
