Do you need grease filter exchange in Lee Common?
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's, or anywhere in Lee Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What insurance they carry
- How they set the interval to the next visit

Grease filter exchange in Lee Common
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. Common call-outs are for a canopy running with filters missing and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, on mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Lee Common starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Lee Common
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems

What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease, kitchens and Lee Common
Kitchens in Lee Common get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Lee Common 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.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lee Common Church of England School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which 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 Lee Common.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

How the job changes from site to site

The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Common questions in Lee Common
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lee Common?
Lee Common is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Lee Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Send us details or pictures and we will quote, normally within one working day.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out, so we swap them in one go.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We will check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
