About our grease filter exchange in Boreham Street
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. Common call-outs are for filters that leave gaps in the canopy and filter washing that keeps being missed, on baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies.
In a small place like Boreham Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When it’s something else
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Boreham Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Boreham Street: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Boreham Street?
Fire safety enforcement in Boreham Street is handled by East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you get to a site in Boreham Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Where do the greasy filters go?
They leave with us. That is how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What we are called out for in Boreham Street
Long cooking hours in Boreham Street or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
Clients typically contact us when they notice one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
In and around Boreham Street, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A fault that closes a site in a village like Boreham Street affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
