How we handle grease filter exchange in Broad Green
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you are dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and damaged filters letting grease past, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Broad Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What else we do in Broad Green
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How much notice should we give?

Kitchen extracts in Broad Green
Food hygiene inspections in Broad Green are the job of Colchester council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Broad Green falls to 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.
Where a hall near Church of St James, or anywhere in Broad Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. School kitchens, at schools like Honywood Community Science School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

Related advice
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Broad Green
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A canopy that drips grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Broad Green (Layer Marney Tower is about 4.6 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
