Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Murrell Green
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are grease dripping from the canopy and grease collecting in the filter channels.
In a small place like Murrell Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Murrell Green.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

FAQs for Murrell Green
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Murrell Green out of term?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Murrell Green. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work overnight in Murrell Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Murrell Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

What affects the quote in Murrell Green
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
If you need grease filter exchange in Murrell Green, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. If the system at a site near Murrell Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
