How we handle grease filter exchange in Danesfield
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and people most often call us about weak extraction at the canopy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
In a small place like Danesfield, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
In Danesfield, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. If the system at a site near Danesfield fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Danesfield
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Danesfield, about 2.5 miles north-east.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Danesfield
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Danesfield questions
Can a school canteen extract in Danesfield be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Danesfield. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Danesfield?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Danesfield needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
