Grease filter exchange near Well

Grease filter exchange in Well, done properly

A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are a canopy running with filters missing and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

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

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Part by part

Baffle filters

In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.

Canopy filter housings

We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.

What happens on the day

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Well, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. We record the number, size and type of your filters.
  2. An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
  3. On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
  4. Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
  5. The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice

What a clean won’t put right

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:

  • Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
  • A canopy that needs a proper clean
  • Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • School and hospital kitchens
  • Baffle filters
  • Restaurants and pubs
  • Wall canopies
  • Island canopies
  • Mesh filters

What grease filter exchange looks like in Well

Well is about 40 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service covers Well. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.

Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Well is Fleet Community Hospital, about 5.8 miles north-east. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Lord Wandsworth College tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Lord Wandsworth College Chapel, or anywhere in Well, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Well is about 5 miles west of Farnham, in Hampshire.

How we price grease filter exchange

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Asking for a quote

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises

If you need grease filter exchange in Well, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Look out for drips from the canopy
  • Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
  • Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use

There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.

Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
