Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in North Boarhunt
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in North Boarhunt, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about poor airflow through the filters and grease filters clogged with grease.
Work in a small place like North Boarhunt 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Always run the extract while cooking
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: 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 the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like North Boarhunt, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in North Boarhunt
Long cooking hours in North Boarhunt or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Blocked baffle filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around North Boarhunt, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
