Grease filter exchange in Halton

Each visit is quick and tidy. 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. Typical jobs include drips falling from the filters onto equipment and weak extraction at the canopy, across baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.

For a kitchen in or near Halton, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Halton

Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
  • Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
  • Grease dripping from the canopy
  • Filters left unwashed on busy weeks

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Halton Community Combined School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether VAT is included
  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What insurance they carry

Our hiring checklist

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Halton

Do you cover smaller places like Halton?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Halton is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Which environmental health team covers Halton?

Kitchens in Halton are inspected by Buckinghamshire 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.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Where do the greasy filters go?

We take them away to be cleaned and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.

Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?

Yes, filter cleaning is available. We will check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.

What do you do to protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Why act early in Halton

In Halton, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Halton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How we price grease filter exchange

Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:

  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The size of the system
  • The number of sites or systems

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

What to send for a quote

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:

  • A few general shots of the system
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

How the job changes from site to site

Mesh filters

Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.

School, care home and staff kitchens

Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

The process

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Halton.

  1. The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
  2. We set the interval with you.
  3. The dirty set is lifted out.
  4. A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
  5. The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Arrange a key holder or contact on site
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Tell us where we can park and unload

Multi-site and managed buildings

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
