- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
How we handle grease filter exchange in Mulberry Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease left in baffles after washing and grease filters clogged with grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Mulberry Green
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Mulberry Green, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Mulberry Green questions
Can you work in Mulberry Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Mulberry Green?
Yes, Mulberry Green is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What we are called out for in Mulberry Green
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- A canopy that drips grease
A hospital like Essex County Hospital, about 4.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether VAT is included
Grease, kitchens and Mulberry Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Mulberry Green. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Fire safety in Mulberry Green 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. Food hygiene inspections in Mulberry Green are the job of Colchester council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Layer Marney Tower is about 2.8 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Mulberry Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
