Bobbingworth grease filter exchange

- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Grease filter exchange in Bobbingworth, done properly
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you’re dealing with poor airflow through the filters and staff short of time to wash filters, we can help, from baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
Somewhere as small as Bobbingworth, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Bobbingworth
Wherever you are, Bobbingworth included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Moreton Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Bobbingworth.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Questions from Bobbingworth
Do you work at weekends in Bobbingworth?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Bobbingworth can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Bobbingworth?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bobbingworth included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Food hygiene inspections in Bobbingworth are the job of Epping Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Bobbingworth sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. 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 your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bobbingworth (Hill Hall is about 4.9 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.
