Baffle filters are the first line of defence in your extract system — they catch grease before it reaches the ductwork. When they're saturated, grease passes straight through into the ducting, accelerating build-up where it's most dangerous. Keeping filters clean protects the whole system.
We arrange baffle filter cleaning and replacement quotes for Cardiff kitchens, either as a standalone service or as part of a regular extract-cleaning schedule.
Clean or replace?
Stainless steel baffle filters can usually be deep cleaned and reused many times. Where filters are warped, damaged or beyond cleaning, replacement is straightforward and inexpensive — and we can advise on the right filter spec for your canopy.
How often?
High-grease kitchens benefit from filter cleaning between full extract cleans. Many Cardiff takeaways and busy restaurants clean filters monthly and have the full system cleaned quarterly.
