Haddenham questions
Do you work at weekends in Haddenham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Haddenham needn’t be disturbed. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will you come out to Haddenham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Grease filter exchange in Haddenham
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are a canopy that drips grease and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
For a smaller kitchen near Haddenham, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Look out for drips from the canopy
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Grease, kitchens and Haddenham
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs and bars registered within about 1.5 miles of central Haddenham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Haddenham get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Haddenham is Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Thame Community Hospital (about 2.6 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Haddenham, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Common problems we fix in Haddenham
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
If you run a café or takeaway near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Haddenham and across Buckinghamshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Your opening hours decide when we come to Haddenham, not ours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
For any kitchen in Haddenham, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Even a site near Haddenham that is only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
