- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Nash Lee
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you are dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and a canopy that drips grease, we can put it right, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Nash Lee, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What else we do in Nash Lee
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Grease filter exchange in Nash Lee: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Nash Lee and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Nash Lee falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Nash Lee, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as John Colet School or anywhere near Nash Lee, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. A hospital like Stoke Mandeville Hospital, about 2.3 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Always run the extract while cooking
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
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, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. The timing of a visit to Nash Lee is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When to call us in Nash Lee
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Nash Lee, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Nash Lee questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nash Lee?
In Nash Lee, it’s Buckinghamshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work at weekends in Nash Lee?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Nash Lee needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on the amount of work, but for a typical site it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
