About our grease filter exchange in Mayland
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. Typical jobs include grease filters clogged with grease and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, on baffle filters, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs.
In a small place like Mayland, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Mayland questions
Do you work at weekends in Mayland?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Mayland keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Mayland?
Essex County Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Mayland. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will confirm it on site.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Mayland
Sea air reaches Mayland, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Mayland and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Fire safety in Mayland falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Whether the kitchen is in Mayland itself or nearby, a TR19® clean covers the whole system, canopy to discharge.

- The condition of the system

- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. For a village or hamlet like Mayland, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
