What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Ashampstead Green
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, so the canopy is never left without filters. We’re often asked to deal with staff short of time to wash filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, across school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Ashampstead Green, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Ashampstead Green: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Ashampstead Green?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ashampstead Green. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Which environmental health team covers Ashampstead Green?
In Ashampstead Green, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we will check on the first visit.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Ashampstead Green?
Long cooking hours in Ashampstead Green or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Clement or elsewhere in Ashampstead Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ashampstead Green
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
