Grease filter exchange in Stokenchurch, done properly
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. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and missing filters in the filter bank.
In a smaller place like Stokenchurch, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.

What else we do in Stokenchurch
Grease, kitchens and Stokenchurch
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Stokenchurch 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 Stokenchurch. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Stokenchurch falls to Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Stokenchurch Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Stokenchurch Methodist Church or elsewhere in Stokenchurch, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. West Wycombe Park House, about 4.2 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Stokenchurch; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Stokenchurch, so let us know how to reach it.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- 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.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
FAQs for Stokenchurch
Will you come out to Stokenchurch?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stokenchurch is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Stokenchurch after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What types of filter do you exchange?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll confirm it on site.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stokenchurch
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why deal with it now?
When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Stokenchurch at a time that suits you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
