Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Broadley Common
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about grease filters clogged with grease and filter washing that keeps being missed.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Broadley Common questions
Can you work in Broadley Common outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Broadley Common can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire service covers Broadley Common?
It’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Broadley Common. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is Broadley Common in your area?
Yes. Broadley Common is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We send you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
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 offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Broadley Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Broadley Common.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Broadley Common
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In a small place like Broadley Common, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
