What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too.

- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- 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.

Advice
Grease filter exchange in Beggar's Bush
An exchange visit in Beggar's Bush doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy plenum behind the filters and grease dripping from the canopy.
Work in a small place like Beggar's Bush starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What a clean won’t put right
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a place like Beggar's Bush, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?

What affects the quote in Beggar's Bush
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Windsor and Maidenhead. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.

What does TR19 mean?
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.

How long does grease filter exchange take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will explain the options when you get in touch.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Grease filter exchange in Beggar's Bush: the local picture
There are about 29 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Beggar's Bush, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Beggar's Bush. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Beggar's Bush is covered by Royal Berkshire 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.
A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.1 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Beggar's Bush (St Leonard's Hill is about 4.3 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
