About our grease filter exchange in Cockpole Green
In Cockpole Green, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and missing filters in the filter bank.
Work in a small place like Cockpole Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Cockpole Green
Can you come to Cockpole Green after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Cockpole Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Cockpole Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Cockpole Green is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff don’t have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cockpole Green
If you look after several sites, 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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Cockpole Green
Cockpole Green, about 33 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Cockpole Green is 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like St Mark's Hospital about 4.5 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul's Mission Church, or anywhere in Cockpole Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Cockpole Green is about 5 miles south-west of Marlow, in Wokingham.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Cockpole Green can be planned properly.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Advice
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Cockpole Green
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Crazies Hill CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Cockpole Green, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
