Grease filter exchange in Parslow's Hillock, Buckinghamshire

Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Parslow's Hillock rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Parslow's Hillock
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. If you have drips falling from the filters onto equipment and grease filters clogged with grease, we can help, from baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What else we do in Parslow's Hillock
Do you need grease filter exchange in Parslow's Hillock?
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Chiltern Hospital is the nearest hospital to Parslow's Hillock, about 4.9 miles east.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Parslow's Hillock
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies

Parslow's Hillock questions
Can you come to Parslow's Hillock after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Parslow's Hillock keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Parslow's Hillock?
It’s Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Parslow's Hillock. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes well under an hour for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Parslow's Hillock.

- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive

Advice
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
