Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
About our grease filter exchange in Aldermaston Wharf
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Typical jobs include gaps where filters have been removed and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, across school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
Somewhere as small as Aldermaston Wharf, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Aldermaston Wharf
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. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Somewhere as small as Aldermaston Wharf, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When to call us in Aldermaston Wharf
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Damaged filters letting grease past
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Aldermaston Wharf, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Grease, kitchens and Aldermaston Wharf
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Aldermaston Wharf and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Aldermaston Wharf. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Kitchens in Aldermaston Wharf get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you cook for passing trade around Aldermaston station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Related advice
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Report a dripping canopy early
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
