For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Canewdon
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Typical jobs include grease building up behind the canopy filters and grease left in baffles after washing, on baffle filters, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Canewdon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with photos 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.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Canewdon, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common questions in Canewdon
Do you work overnight in Canewdon?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Canewdon keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Canewdon within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Canewdon kitchens: local notes
The fire and rescue service for Canewdon is Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Canewdon is about 37 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Canewdon, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Canewdon is Southend University Hospital, about 4.9 miles south-west.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Canewdon?
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like King Edmund School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work

Why act early in Canewdon
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Somewhere as small as Canewdon, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 will explain each part.
