Grease filter exchange in Hutton Mount
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are missing filters in the filter bank and weak extraction at the canopy.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Hutton Mount gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a site near Hutton Mount, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Common questions in Hutton Mount
Can you come to Hutton Mount after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Hutton Mount?
Yes, Hutton Mount is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Booking now means the visit to Hutton Mount is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system

Grease filter exchange in Hutton Mount: the local picture
Food Standards Agency data counts about 22 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways in Hutton Mount and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Fire safety in Hutton Mount falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Hutton Mount get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Joseph the Worker Catholic Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Peter's, or anywhere in Hutton Mount, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Hutton Mount
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run a café or takeaway near Shenfield station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
