Grease filter exchange for sites in Loosley Row

How we handle grease filter exchange in Loosley Row

We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Loosley Row on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about grease dripping from the canopy and filter washing that keeps being missed.

Somewhere as small as Loosley Row, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:

  • Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
  • A noisy or failed extract fan
  • Grease deep in the extract system

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

What the work covers

  • Restaurants and pubs
  • School and hospital kitchens
  • Baffle filters
  • Wall canopies
  • Island canopies
  • Mesh filters

Grease, kitchens and Loosley Row

There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Loosley Row, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Loosley Row. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Loosley Row are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Loosley Row, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John's Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Loosley Row is Chiltern Hospital, about 5.5 miles east.

What happens on the day

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Loosley Row.

  1. We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
  2. Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
  3. At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
  4. We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
  5. Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Ask for a quote

We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What the work involves, part by part

Mesh filters

Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.

School, care home and staff kitchens

For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Loosley Row

Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The times the site is available

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What we need to know

To speed up the quote, send us:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Any previous report or certificate

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What staff can safely do

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Questions from Loosley Row

Can you work in Loosley Row outside opening hours?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Loosley Row does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Who is the fire and rescue service for Loosley Row?

Loosley Row is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.

Is Loosley Row in your area?

Yes. Loosley Row is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.

Is TR19 cleaning required by law?

Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.

Can you clean our existing filters instead?

Yes, filter cleaning is available. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.

What does TR19 mean?

A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Make sure no filter is left out
  • Let us know if your cooking hours increase
  • Watch for grease drips between visits
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use

We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.

Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

Why it’s worth doing now in Loosley Row

Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. With notice, the visit to Loosley Row can be fitted around your bookings and events.

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
