Grease filter exchange for sites in Boyn Hill

How we handle grease filter exchange in Boyn Hill

Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and gaps where filters have been removed.

For a smaller kitchen near Boyn Hill, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.

We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

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 the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. For a site near Boyn Hill, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.

  1. We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
  2. We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
  3. On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
  4. Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
  5. We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Clear the space around the work

Multi-site and managed buildings

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
  • Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
  • A fan that is failing or too weak for the system

If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on in Boyn Hill

  • Baffle filters
  • Island canopies
  • Mesh filters
  • Wall canopies
  • Restaurants and pubs
  • School and hospital kitchens

What your team can do, and what needs us

If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Grease filter exchange in Boyn Hill: the local picture

Food Standards Agency records list about 94 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways and sandwich shops in Boyn Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Fire safety in Boyn Hill falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Windsor and Maidenhead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Boyn Hill. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like Larchfield Primary and Nursery School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Boyn Hill (Dorney Court is about 3.1 miles east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Boyn Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Boyn Hill is about 1 mile south-west of Maidenhead, in Windsor and Maidenhead.

Boyn Hill: your questions answered

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Boyn Hill during the holidays?

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. The FSA’s register shows about 34 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Boyn Hill. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us with your term dates and we will plan around them.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Boyn Hill?

The local authority for Boyn Hill is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.

What happens to the dirty filters?

We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff do not have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.

What types of filter do you exchange?

Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?

It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.

What happens to the waste?

We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

Do you cover Boyn Hill?

Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Boyn Hill.

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:

  • Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
  • Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
  • Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
  • Clean the canopy surfaces regularly

Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.

Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

How we price grease filter exchange

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • The times the site is available
  • The size of the system
  • The condition of the system

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

What the work involves, part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens

A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.

Baffle filters

Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
