Common problems we fix in Cranbourne
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Cranbourne Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the price is fixed
Grease filter exchange in Cranbourne, done properly
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. Typical jobs include poor airflow through the filters and grease dripping from the canopy, across school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and wall canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Cranbourne, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Why act early in Cranbourne
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. A fault that closes a site in a village like Cranbourne affects everyone who depends on it.
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’ll go through it with you.

FAQs for Cranbourne
Can you get to a site in Cranbourne?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cranbourne is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cranbourne?
The local authority for Cranbourne is Bracknell Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy is not left without filters during service.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cranbourne 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.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Cranbourne kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Cranbourne. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. In Cranbourne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Cranbourne. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Historic houses near Cranbourne, such as St Leonard's Hill about 1.5 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Cranbourne, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
