About our grease filter exchange in Mundon

A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and grease left in baffles after washing.

Somewhere as small as Mundon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Mundon

For any kitchen in Mundon, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A planned visit to Mundon is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Between visits

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
  • Keep every filter in place during service
  • Let us know if your cooking hours increase
  • Never cook with the extract switched off

Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.

Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

When to call us in Mundon

The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
  • Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
  • Damaged filters letting grease past
  • A canopy running with filters missing

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Mundon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Before booking anyone

  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether a survey comes first

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

What grease filter exchange cannot fix

We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:

  • A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
  • A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
  • Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on in Mundon

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

What happens on the day

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Mundon.

  1. The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
  2. An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
  3. On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
  4. A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
  5. We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Ask for a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Advice

What affects the quote in Mundon

The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:

  • The condition of the system
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Helping us quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • A few general shots of the system
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Grease filter exchange in Mundon: the local picture

Mundon lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Metal on the roof weathers faster close to the coast, and the extract fan and cowl are no exception. Food hygiene inspections in Mundon are the job of Maldon council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that.

The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Mundon

Do you cover smaller places like Mundon?

Yes, Mundon is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.

Can you work in Mundon outside opening hours?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Mundon can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Will we have to shut during the visit?

Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.

What do you do to protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Are you insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.

Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?

No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.

Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?

Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
