Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Skye Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and missing filters in the filter bank, we can help.
Work in a small place like Skye Green 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Skye Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Skye Green: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Skye Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Skye Green can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Skye Green?
That’s Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is Skye Green in your area?
Yes. We cover Skye Green and across Essex, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Common problems we fix in Skye Green
Kitchens in Skye Green, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Staff short of time to wash filters
Historic houses near Skye Green, such as Layer Marney Tower about 4.5 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
