What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Bagshot
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. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about staff short of time to wash filters and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
In a smaller place like Bagshot, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Grease, kitchens and Bagshot
Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 takeaways across Bagshot and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Bagshot sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Bagshot. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Brook Church or elsewhere in Bagshot, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bagshot Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Common problems we fix in Bagshot
Kitchens in Bagshot, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Blocked baffle filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
If you run a café or takeaway near Bagshot station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
