How we handle grease filter exchange in Shottesbrooke
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Common call-outs are for a canopy running with filters missing and weak extraction at the canopy, across school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Shottesbrooke, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shottesbrooke.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Shottesbrooke is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

FAQs for Shottesbrooke
Can you come to Shottesbrooke after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Shottesbrooke doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Shottesbrooke in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Shottesbrooke, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you cover Shottesbrooke?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Shottesbrooke included.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
