How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Ramsdell
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. We’re often asked to deal with grease filters clogged with grease and a greasy plenum behind the filters, on baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Ramsdell, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Somewhere as small as Ramsdell, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What we’re called out for in Ramsdell
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Park Prewett Hospital is the nearest hospital to Ramsdell, about 2.7 miles south-east.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Look out for drips from the canopy
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. 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.
