Advice
How we handle grease filter exchange in Nevendon
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Nevendon, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. Common call-outs are for blocked baffle filters and grease dripping from the canopy, across mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Nevendon questions
Can the work in Nevendon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Nevendon needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Nevendon?
Fire safety enforcement in Nevendon is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you cover Nevendon?
Yes. We work in Nevendon and the rest of Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That’s how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.

Grease filter exchange around Nevendon
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Nevendon 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. In Nevendon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basildon council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Nevendon 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.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Abacus Primary School or anywhere near Nevendon, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nevendon is Basildon University Hospital, about 4.1 miles south-west.
Nevendon is about 1 mile south of Wickford, in Essex. Across the SS12 area, we can carry out grease filter exchange at your premises. Nevendon is one of 644 towns, villages and districts in Essex where we work for commercial clients. We also work in Chelmsford, about 10 miles from Nevendon.
Work in SS12 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on The Chase, Fairway and Cranfield Park Road and nearby roads. If your site is just outside Nevendon, we cover North Benfleet (1 mile south), Bowers Gifford (2 miles south), Pitsea (2 miles south-west), Tarpots (2 miles south-east) and Thundersley (3 miles south-east). Further out, we also cover Chelmsford (10 miles north), Basildon (3 miles south-west), Brentwood (10 miles west), Maldon (11 miles north-east), Canvey Island (6 miles south-east) and Billericay (5 miles north-west).
Near you in Nevendon
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Bromfords School and Sixth Form College, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Wickford station, roughly 1.4 miles north. Nearby you will also find Basildon University Hospital (4.1 miles south-west) and Rayleigh Castle (3.4 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Shotgate Thickets.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Honest limits
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs

What we’re called out for in Nevendon
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Where a hall near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Nevendon, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
