Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Turnford
In Turnford, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and people most often call us about filters that come out of the sink still dirty and blocked baffle filters.
Kitchens around a place like Turnford are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We have 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 carry full insurance.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Visits to a place like Turnford are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for Turnford
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Turnford?
In Turnford, it’s Broxbourne council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which fire authority looks after Turnford?
Turnford is in the area of Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Always run the extract while cooking
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Turnford kitchens: local notes
There are about 41 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways in Turnford and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Fire safety in Turnford falls to Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Turnford are the job of Broxbourne council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Clement, or anywhere in Turnford, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like St Michaels Hospital, about 4.8 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Turnford (Forty Hall is about 4 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care.

Why act early in Turnford
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. In a smaller place like Turnford, a site that has to close is felt quickly.

When it’s something else

- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
