Filter Soak Exchange Program

Regular scheduled rotation of stainless baffle and aluminium mesh filters. We swap dirty filters for clean ones on the spot.

Filter Soak Exchange Program

Clean filters are your first line of defence. Once they’re blocked, grease goes straight past them and into the duct.

On a schedule that suits your cooking volume, we turn up with a set of clean filters, swap them in, and take your dirty set away for an ultrasonic chemical soak. There’s no scrubbing for your staff and no downtime.

No. We bring a matching exchange set. If your filters are an unusual size, we measure them on our first visit and make sure the swap set fits.

We flag any warped or damaged filters and quote replacements before doing anything, so you stay in control of the cost.

High-volume charcoal, wok and fryer kitchens usually swap weekly, while most restaurants and cafés suit fortnightly or monthly. We’ll set the rotation around your cooking volume and keep a service log for your insurer.
