- A canopy that drips grease
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
About our grease filter exchange in Three Leg Cross
In Three Leg Cross, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
For a kitchen in or near Three Leg Cross, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes less than an hour in most kitchens. The timing of a visit to Three Leg Cross is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
