Grease filter exchange in Broxbourne, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Broxbourne are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Always run the extract while cooking
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Broxbourne.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Broxbourne than wait for a failure.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why Broxbourne businesses choose us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every job surveyed first
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job

Managing agents and facilities teams in Broxbourne
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 can quote for the whole system.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Broxbourne kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 14 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Broxbourne. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Broxbourne is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Environmental health officers from Broxbourne council inspect food businesses in Broxbourne. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A kitchen near Broxbourne station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Hertford County Hospital about 4.3 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Augustine or anywhere around Broxbourne, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Broxbourne questions
Do you cover smaller places like Broxbourne?
Yes. Broxbourne is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Broxbourne?
Food hygiene inspections in Broxbourne are carried out by Broxbourne council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
