Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Mountnessing
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can help, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Work in a small place like Mountnessing starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mountnessing.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Grease filter exchange around Mountnessing
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 5 bars, pubs and nightclubs in Mountnessing and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Mountnessing, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brentwood 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. In a small place like Mountnessing, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
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. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
Questions from Mountnessing
Can you get to a site in Mountnessing?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mountnessing included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Mountnessing be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Mountnessing does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll show you which ones on the visit.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
