Grease filter exchange in Rabbit's Cross
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. We are often asked to deal with filters so greasy the air can barely pass and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across island canopies, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
