Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Saunderton Lee
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Saunderton Lee on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are blocked baffle filters and a canopy that drips grease.
Work in a small place like Saunderton Lee starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Why deal with it now?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. If the system at a site near Saunderton Lee fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Advice
Grease filter exchange in Saunderton Lee: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Saunderton Lee. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Saunderton Lee. 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. Fire safety in Saunderton Lee falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wycombe Hospital (about 5.5 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as St John's Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Where a hall near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Saunderton Lee, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Saunderton Lee: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Saunderton Lee?
That’s Buckinghamshire 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 work overnight in Saunderton Lee?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Saunderton Lee needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What affects the quote in Saunderton Lee
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, 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.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
