Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Highmoor
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for grease dripping from the canopy and missing filters in the filter bank, across restaurants and pubs, island canopies and wall canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re 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.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.

What affects the quote in Highmoor
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Staff cleaning versus 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere as small as Highmoor, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Highmoor rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What grease filter exchange looks like in Highmoor
Kitchens in Highmoor get their food hygiene inspections from South Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. About 39 miles out from central London, Highmoor is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens, at schools like Stoke Row Church of England School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Highmoor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greys Court is about 2 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system

Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
