What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Wadwick
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about a canopy running with filters missing and grease left in baffles after washing.
In a village or hamlet like Wadwick, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Wadwick
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Historic houses near Wadwick, such as Highclere Castle about 3.8 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Wadwick questions
Do you work at weekends in Wadwick?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is Wadwick within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Wadwick is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. We will check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
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.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
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.
