About our grease filter exchange in Bray Wick
An exchange visit in Bray Wick doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and gaps where filters have been removed, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
For a kitchen in or near Bray Wick, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Bray Wick
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bray Wick and across Windsor and Maidenhead. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
What affects the quote in Bray Wick
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When to call us in Bray Wick
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
School kitchens, at schools like Holyport CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
Why act early in Bray Wick

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

FAQs for Bray Wick
Do you work in villages like Bray Wick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bray Wick?
The local authority for Bray Wick 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.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
