How we price grease filter exchange
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Grease filter exchange in Cippenham, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. Typical jobs include grease left in baffles after washing and grease collecting in the filter channels, across island canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
In a smaller place like Cippenham, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we are called out for in Cippenham
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
If you cook for passing trade around Burnham station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether a survey comes first

- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. For a site near Cippenham, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

Cippenham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 14 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Cippenham. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Cippenham get their food hygiene inspections from Slough council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Cippenham is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 2.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St. Andrew's Shared Church or elsewhere in Cippenham, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
