Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bagshot
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
What affects the quote in Bagshot
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When you contact us, these details help:

Why act early in Bagshot
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A written report with photos after every visit
- Every job surveyed first

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Report a dripping canopy early
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
FAQs for Bagshot
Do you cover smaller places like Bagshot?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Bagshot?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Bagshot. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange does not take long, and can be booked outside service times. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Bagshot?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease filters clogged with grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of the Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Bagshot, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
