FAQs for Coleshill
Can you come to Coleshill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Coleshill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Coleshill?
Kitchens in Coleshill are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Grease filter exchange in Coleshill
An exchange visit in Coleshill doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and people most often call us about poor airflow through the filters and a canopy that drips grease.
In a small place like Coleshill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a small place like Coleshill, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Leave it or put it right?
In Coleshill, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Coleshill is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after every visit
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Coleshill
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:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Coleshill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
What affects the quote in Coleshill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
