Essex · Grease filter exchange
Fuller Street grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Fuller Street from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Grease filter exchange in Fuller Street, done properly
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and blocked baffle filters, we can help.
Work in a small place like Fuller Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
What affects the quote in Fuller Street
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Fuller Street questions
Can you come to Fuller Street after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Fuller Street doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Fuller Street out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 2 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Fuller Street. You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the dates the site is empty.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Kitchen extracts in Fuller Street
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in Fuller Street and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Fuller Street get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Fuller Street 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Fuller Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Fuller Street?
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- A canopy that drips grease
A hospital like Broomfield Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Fuller Street and turn up when the site is quiet.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
