Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Boyton Cross
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have blocked baffle filters and missing filters in the filter bank, we can help.
Work in a small place like Boyton Cross starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Common questions in Boyton Cross
Can you come to Boyton Cross after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Boyton Cross?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Boyton Cross. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. We send you a fixed quote before the first visit.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.

Grease filter exchange around Boyton Cross
Boyton Cross is covered by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Boyton Cross, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chelmsford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Newlands Spring Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Historic houses near Boyton Cross, such as Hylands about 3.8 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Broomfield Hospital about 3.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Part by part
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes less than an hour in most kitchens. For a village or hamlet like Boyton Cross, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
