Grease filter exchange in Beenham Stocks, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are damaged filters letting grease past and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Beenham Stocks. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Beenham Stocks get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Beenham Stocks. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Beenham Stocks, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For schools such as Beenham Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Beenham Stocks, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Common questions in Beenham Stocks
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Beenham Stocks?
That is West Berkshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Beenham Stocks. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire service covers Beenham Stocks?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Beenham Stocks. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Most changes take a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, so the impact is small. We’ll fit it around your service wherever possible.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
