What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Askett and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Grease filter exchange in Askett, done properly
In Askett, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are blocked baffle filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
Work in a small place like Askett starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in Askett
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Askett and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Askett is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Askett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Dunstan, or anywhere in Askett, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital about 4.1 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Monks Risborough CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the quote in Askett
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Why act early in Askett
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. It’s simpler to plan the work at Askett now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Common questions in Askett
Is Askett within the area you cover?
Yes. Askett is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire authority looks after Askett?
That’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That’s how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
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, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for many sites it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We will confirm it with the quote.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
