About our grease filter exchange in Wormley West End
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled right away. If you’re dealing with grease building up behind the canopy filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and island canopies onwards.
In a small place like Wormley West End, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common problems we fix in Wormley West End
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hertford County Hospital (about 4.3 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wormley West End.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep every filter in place during service
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
What affects the quote in Wormley West End
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
