What a clean won’t put right

- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan

Grease filter exchange in Lillingstone Lovell
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where filters have been removed and blocked baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Lillingstone Lovell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
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.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Lillingstone Lovell knowing what to expect.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Why act early in Lillingstone Lovell
For any kitchen in Lillingstone Lovell, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lillingstone Lovell rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we are called out for in Lillingstone Lovell
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Blocked baffle filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Buckingham Community Hospital about 4 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Part by part
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though typically at a gentler pace.
