- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A canopy running with filters missing
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A site near Wendover typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How we handle grease filter exchange in Wendover
In Wendover, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
Around a smaller place like Wendover, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Wendover
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Poor airflow through the filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Stoke Mandeville Hospital (about 3.4 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What insurance they carry
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though usually at a gentler pace.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
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. Around Wendover, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Wendover
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wendover. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Wendover is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Wendover, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
School kitchens, at schools like The John Hampden School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Commuter trade near Wendover station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
