Our grease filter exchange service in West Berkshire

The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. We’re often asked to deal with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, on wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies.

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies.

First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
The filters are checked for fit before we go.
We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Pricing in West Berkshire

Where we work in West Berkshire

Kitchens across West Berkshire cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. Grease readings and BESA’s minimum intervals set the schedule for each.

Across England, including West Berkshire, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work.

Newbury: School kitchens, at schools like St Nicolas C.E. Junior School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Nicolas Church or elsewhere in Newbury, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Why deal with it now?

For any kitchen in West Berkshire, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round.

Part by part

Baffle filters

Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.

Canopy filter housings

Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.

Signs you need grease filter exchange

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.

What we’re most often called out for:

Missing filters in the filter bank
Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Grease filters clogged with grease

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

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.

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

The scale of the work
Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Any permits to work or inductions
The times the site is available

Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What we need to know

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Problems your staff have spotted
The postcode and the type of business

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

West Berkshire: your questions answered

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.

Where does the waste go?

Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.

Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?

A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.

How far ahead should we book?

For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?

It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
