How we handle grease filter exchange in Tyler's Hill

Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and damaged filters letting grease past, we can put it right.

For a kitchen in or near Tyler's Hill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

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

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Tyler's Hill

Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Grease left in baffles after washing
  • Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
  • Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
  • Filter washing that keeps being missed

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tyler's Hill is Amersham Hospital, about 3.4 miles south-west.

What the work involves, part by part

Baffle filters

A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.

Why deal with it now?

Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Tyler's Hill, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. In a place like Tyler's Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Why us?

  • Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
  • We are fully insured

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.

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. Leave those to us.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

The process

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Visits to a village like Tyler's Hill are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
  2. Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
  3. We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
  4. The filters are checked for fit before we go.
  5. Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Getting a quote

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Related advice

Tyler's Hill: your questions answered

Can a school canteen extract in Tyler's Hill be done out of term time?

Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 7 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Tyler's Hill. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tyler's Hill?

Kitchens in Tyler's Hill are inspected by Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

Can you come out in an emergency?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

How often should grease filters be changed?

That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.

What happens to the waste?

It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.

How do you protect the area?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

Do you take the used filters away?

The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.

What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Let us know if your cooking hours increase
  • Keep every filter in place during service
  • Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
  • Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed

Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.

Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
