About our grease filter exchange in Langley Green
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Langley Green, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you are dealing with grease dripping from the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help, from mesh filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like Langley Green gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Langley Green
Do you cover smaller places like Langley Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Langley Green out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 16 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Langley Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.

What else we do in Langley Green
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. For a place like Langley Green, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
