Grease filter exchange in Brimpton, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have a greasy plenum behind the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Brimpton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Brimpton: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brimpton?
Brimpton is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Brimpton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Brimpton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
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. Every site has its own report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Brimpton knowing what to expect.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Brimpton
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Brimpton and across West Berkshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Brimpton kitchens: local notes
Kitchens in Brimpton get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Brimpton, about 48 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital about 4.4 miles north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Brimpton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Brimpton is about 3 miles north-west of Tadley, in West Berkshire. Brimpton gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our area takes in 155 places across West Berkshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. Reading is in our area too, around 11 miles away.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Brimpton?
Long cooking hours in Brimpton or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Brimpton C.E. Primary School or anywhere near Brimpton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
