Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Adeyfield
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and a canopy running with filters missing, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
For a smaller kitchen near Adeyfield, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Adeyfield
Is Adeyfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Adeyfield out of term?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 29 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Adeyfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Your opening hours decide when we come to Adeyfield, not ours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know about parking and loading

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Adeyfield
Food Standards Agency data counts about 105 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 66 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Adeyfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s Dacorum council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Adeyfield. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Adeyfield. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Batchwood Hall is about 4.2 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. School kitchens, at schools like Hobletts Manor Infants' School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What we are called out for in Adeyfield
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Barnabas or elsewhere in Adeyfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Why it’s worth doing now in Adeyfield
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
