Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Salters Heath
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you are dealing with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Salters Heath, 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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Never cook with the extract switched off
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Questions from Salters Heath
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Salters Heath in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Salters Heath. Send us your term dates when you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can you come to Salters Heath after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Salters Heath needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why deal with it now?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. With notice, the visit to Salters Heath can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
What affects the quote in Salters Heath
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Salters Heath
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
For schools such as The Priory Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. For a village or hamlet like Salters Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
