About our grease filter exchange in Ley Hill
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. Typical jobs include filter washing that keeps being missed and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, on island canopies, wall canopies and baffle filters.
In a village or hamlet like Ley Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Ley Hill?
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A canopy that drips grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St George's Church or elsewhere in Ley Hill, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease deep in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ley Hill.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system

FAQs for Ley Hill
Can you get to a site in Ley Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Ley Hill?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
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.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party 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 send a fixed quote.
