How we handle grease filter exchange in Woburn
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about damaged filters letting grease past and filter washing that keeps being missed.
In a village or hamlet like Woburn, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Woburn
Who is the fire and rescue service for Woburn?
Woburn is in the area of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Woburn?
In Woburn, it’s Central Bedfordshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, or we’ll check on the first visit.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Woburn.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the quote in Woburn
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Honest limits
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease filter exchange in Woburn: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 3 pubs and bars in Woburn and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Woburn. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. In Woburn, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Central Bedfordshire council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Bletchley Community Hospital, about 5.4 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Woburn Abbey is about 1.1 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. If the system at a site near Woburn fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
