Grease filter exchange in Skittle Green
An exchange visit in Skittle Green doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about filters that come out of the sink still dirty and gaps where filters have been removed.
In a village or hamlet like Skittle Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Skittle Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Skittle Green

When to call us in Skittle Green
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Princes Risborough School or anywhere near Skittle Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the price is fixed
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.

Fire safety in Skittle Green falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
