About our grease filter exchange in Broughton Crossing
An exchange visit in Broughton Crossing doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. We are often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and a canopy that drips grease, across restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a small place like Broughton Crossing, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Broughton Crossing
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 88 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 48 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broughton Crossing. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. In Broughton Crossing, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Broughton Crossing is covered by Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St James or anywhere around Broughton Crossing, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Tindal Centre about 0.8 miles west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Broughton Crossing questions
Can a school canteen extract in Broughton Crossing be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Broughton Crossing, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come to Broughton Crossing after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Broughton Crossing can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, 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. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Broughton Crossing, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
When to call us in Broughton Crossing
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Gaps where filters have been removed
School kitchens, at schools like Bierton Church of England Combined School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What insurance they carry
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
Why deal with it now?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
