About our grease filter exchange in Tilbury Juxta Clare
An exchange visit in Tilbury Juxta Clare doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include smoke and heat lingering under the hood and a canopy that drips grease, across wall canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
In a small place like Tilbury Juxta Clare, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report a dripping canopy early
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Tilbury Juxta Clare can be planned properly.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed

- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. In a place like Tilbury Juxta Clare, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
