About our grease filter exchange in Wissington
An exchange visit in Wissington does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you’re dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help, from mesh filters, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wissington.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Move anything stored near the system

Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
School kitchens, at schools like Nayland Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
