Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Green Street
An exchange visit in Green Street doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We’re often asked to deal with staff short of time to wash filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, on wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs.
Work in a small place like Green Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

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.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Green Street can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get 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, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Green Street kitchens: local notes
We cover Green Street, about 23 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Brentwood council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Green Street. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Brentwood Community Hospital about 3.8 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Ingatestone Infant School or anywhere near Green Street, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Green Street, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Green Street
Is Green Street 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.
Which fire service covers Green Street?
Green Street is in the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
