Grease filter exchange in Frating Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked baffle filters and missing filters in the filter bank.
In a small place like Frating Green, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Frating Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Frating Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Frating Green is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frating Green?
Kitchens in Frating Green are inspected by Tendring council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

What else we do in Frating Green
How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Frating Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Related advice
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Frating Green
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
A TR19® clean in Frating Green doesn’t stop at the filters: the plenum, ductwork, fan and discharge are cleaned too.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
