About our grease filter exchange in North Aston
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. Typical jobs include grease left in baffles after washing and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens.
Work in a small place like North Aston starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in North Aston knowing what to expect.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Related advice
Common problems we fix in North Aston
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Poor airflow through the filters
Around North Aston, as anywhere, we clean the parts you can’t see as well as the canopy you can.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How we price grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Questions from North Aston
Is North Aston within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to North Aston after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in North Aston doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
