For landlords and multi-site operators
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stoneyhills and across Essex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Stoneyhills
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Common call-outs are for filters left unwashed on busy weeks and blocked baffle filters, across restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and baffle filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Grease filter exchange in Stoneyhills: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 7 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Stoneyhills and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Stoneyhills get their food hygiene inspections from Maldon council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Stoneyhills falls to Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Stoneyhills, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Commuter trade near Burnham-On-Crouch station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. For schools such as Ormiston Rivers Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Common questions in Stoneyhills
Which environmental health team covers Stoneyhills?
Food hygiene inspections in Stoneyhills are carried out by Maldon council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Stoneyhills in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Stoneyhills, the Food Standards Agency lists about 4 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.

How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Stoneyhills are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Stoneyhills
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, 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.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
