Filter Cleaning & Replacement in the Midlands

Baffle filters are the first line of defence in an extract system. They catch the heaviest grease before it reaches the ductwork, but only while they are reasonably clean. A saturated filter lets grease straight through into the duct and fan, and a warped one lets air bypass it entirely.

We arrange filter cleaning and replacement quotes for kitchens across Birmingham and the Midlands, either as a regular service between full cleans or as part of a TR19 clean.

Daily care and professional cleaning

TR19 Grease says filters should be cleaned daily or as the manufacturer instructs, and many kitchens run them through a dishwasher or soak tank. That keeps them working, but it does not replace a professional clean of the canopy, duct and fan — no filter catches everything.

Clean or replace

Stainless steel baffle filters can be deep cleaned and reused for years. Filters that are bent, cracked, missing or the wrong size for the canopy should be replaced, because gaps let grease past. The provider can supply the right size and specification.

Kitchens that need it most

Curry houses cooking with oil and ghee, fish and chip shops, kebab and burger kitchens and busy pub kitchens load filters fastest. Many heavy-use kitchens across Birmingham and the Midlands have filters professionally cleaned between full system cleans to slow the build-up in the ductwork.
