Staff cleaning versus specialist work

A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Grease filter exchange in Turville Heath

A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. Typical jobs include a canopy running with filters missing and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, on school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and wall canopies.

Somewhere as small as Turville Heath, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.

We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease filter exchange around Turville Heath

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Turville Heath. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Turville Heath, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

In and around Turville Heath, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we can’t reach goes on the report.

Honest limits

Some problems need a different service or another trade:

  • A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
  • An extract that was undersized from the start
  • Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

What the work covers

  • Restaurants and pubs

Turville Heath: your questions answered

Which fire authority looks after Turville Heath?

That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Will you come out to Turville Heath?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Turville Heath included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Are you accredited?

We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?

Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.

Can you give a price for filter changes?

It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote, typically within one working day.

How do you protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

How the visit works

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. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Turville Heath.

  1. First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
  2. Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
  3. We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
  4. We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
  5. We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
  • Find the previous report, if there is one

Ask for a quote

Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Turville Heath

The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:

  • The times the site is available
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The scale of the work
  • Site rules, permits and inductions

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Problems your staff have spotted

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?

Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s simpler to plan the work at Turville Heath now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Why Turville Heath businesses choose us

  • CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
  • Fully insured
  • Photo reports with every job
  • Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
  • Never leave gaps in the filter bank
  • Always run the extract while cooking
  • Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed

The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.

A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.

What we are called out for in Turville Heath

Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Missing filters in the filter bank
  • Grease filters clogged with grease
  • Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
  • A greasy plenum behind the filters

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Turville Heath (Stonor Park is about 1 mile south), fitting access panels needs care.

What your quote should include

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • When the next visit should be, and why
