Rudley Green: your questions answered
Can the work in Rudley Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Rudley Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Rudley Green?
That is 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.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Grease filter exchange in Rudley Green
In Rudley Green, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and gaps where filters have been removed, on restaurants and pubs, island canopies and mesh filters.
For a kitchen in or near Rudley Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Rudley Green and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Why act early in Rudley Green
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. A fault that closes a site in a village like Rudley Green affects everyone who depends on it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange around Rudley Green
At about 3 miles from the coast, Rudley Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air speeds up corrosion of roof-level fans, discharge cowls and their fixings. According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Rudley Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Rudley Green 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.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Danbury Place is about 4.3 miles west), access may need planning. For schools such as Purleigh Community Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of All Saints or anywhere around Rudley Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the quote in Rudley Green
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Rudley Green.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
