How we handle grease filter exchange in Sedrup

A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. Common call-outs are for grease building up behind the canopy filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and island canopies.

In a village or hamlet like Sedrup, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

  • Grease deep in the extract system
  • Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control

Sedrup questions

Do you work overnight in Sedrup?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Sedrup keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Sedrup?

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sedrup. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.

Where does the waste go?

It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.

What types of premises do you cover?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.

What happens if you can’t 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.

Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?

Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.

Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?

Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.

Grease filter exchange around Sedrup

Look up Sedrup on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways across Sedrup and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Sedrup. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Sedrup sits within the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

A hospital like St John's Hospital, about 1.5 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Sedrup

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
  • Look out for drips from the canopy
  • Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
  • Never leave gaps in the filter bank

Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.

A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.

The process

The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere like Sedrup, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
  2. We set the interval with you.
  3. The dirty set is lifted out.
  4. Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
  5. We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

Preparing for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Clear the space around the work
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Common problems we fix in Sedrup

Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
  • Staff short of time to wash filters
  • Weak extraction at the canopy
  • Grease collecting in the filter channels

Bursars and site managers at schools such as Stone Church of England Combined School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the figure could change on the day
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • How VAT is shown on the quote
  • How they set the interval to the next visit

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Why deal with it now?

Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Why book with us

  • Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
  • A written report with photos after every visit
  • Full insurance on every job
  • Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Different parts, different methods

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.

Baffle filters

A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
