Grease filter exchange in Lye Green, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. 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, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and missing filters in the filter bank.
In a village or hamlet like Lye Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Common questions in Lye Green
Can you get to a site in Lye Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lye Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Lye Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Lye Green can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not 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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Why deal with it now?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Lye Green is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. The timing of a visit to Lye Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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.
Related advice
Lye Green kitchens: local notes
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses across Lye Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Lye Green get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Lye Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St George's Church or anywhere around Lye Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Amersham Hospital about 4.3 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lye Green
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.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
