Grease filter exchange in Paslow Wood Common, done properly
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with grease filters clogged with grease and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Paslow Wood Common, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Paslow Wood Common questions
Can you work in Paslow Wood Common outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Paslow Wood Common doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Paslow Wood Common?
Yes. Paslow Wood Common is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Grease, kitchens and Paslow Wood Common
The Food Standards Agency lists about 6 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Paslow Wood Common. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Paslow Wood Common is covered by 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. Kitchens in Paslow Wood Common get their food hygiene inspections from Brentwood council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Brentwood Community Hospital about 4.9 miles south, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Blackmore Primary School or anywhere near Paslow Wood Common, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Paslow Wood Common, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
