Grease filter exchange in Cox Green, done properly
In Cox 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 while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are a greasy plenum behind the filters and a canopy running with filters missing.
In a smaller place like Cox Green, 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. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- 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
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Cox Green, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Cox Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Cox Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Cox Green are carried out by Windsor and Maidenhead council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Cox Green?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How often should grease filters be changed?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Look up Cox Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 89 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 26 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Cox Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Cox Green sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Cox Green are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cox Green is St Mark's Hospital, about 1.2 miles north. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Cox Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like Wessex Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
