Our grease filter exchange service in Thurrock

Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and poor airflow through the filters, on island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies.

Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.

We record the number, size and type of your filters.
An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
The dirty set is lifted out.
A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

What you’ll pay

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange around Thurrock

From Stanford-le-Hope, Grays and South Ockendon to its smaller places, Thurrock has kitchens of every size. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in Thurrock can keep trading. In the coastal parts of Thurrock, salt air and damp are hard on ductwork, fans and dampers, and corrosion is one of the things that can stop a fire damper closing.

Stanford-le-Hope: If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Basildon University Hospital about 2.5 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near Stanford-Le-Hope station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

What your team can do, and what needs us

When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Honest limits

It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:

Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Make sure no filter is left out
Mention it if the kitchen gets busier

There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.

Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

What happens if it’s left?

Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for.

What we are called out for in Thurrock

What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.

Look out for any of the following:

Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Weak extraction at the canopy
Grease dripping from the canopy
Grease collecting in the filter channels

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Thurrock

What types of filter do you exchange?

Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.

What happens to the waste?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?

Yes, that is an option. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?

A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
