How we handle grease filter exchange in Withermarsh Green
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. We’re often asked to deal with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and a canopy running with filters missing, on baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters.
Work in a small place like Withermarsh Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Withermarsh Green
Withermarsh Green is about 56 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Withermarsh Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Babergh council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Withermarsh Green is Severalls Hospital, about 5.5 miles south. Historic houses near Withermarsh Green, such as Castle House about 4.3 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Part by part
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Withermarsh Green, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A planned visit to Withermarsh Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Withermarsh Green.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Always run the extract while cooking
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Common questions in Withermarsh Green
Which fire authority looks after Withermarsh Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Withermarsh Green is handled by Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you get to a site in Withermarsh Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Withermarsh Green is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
