Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Dorney Reach
An exchange visit in Dorney Reach does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are filter washing that keeps being missed and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
In a small place like Dorney Reach, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Kitchen extracts in Dorney Reach
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs and bars and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Dorney Reach and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Dorney Reach are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Dorney Reach 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.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Dorney Reach, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 3.1 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Dorney Reach?
Wherever you are, Dorney Reach included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Dorney Court is about 0.6 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Dorney Reach
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. With notice, the visit to Dorney Reach can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Questions from Dorney Reach
Which fire authority looks after Dorney Reach?
Fire safety enforcement in Dorney Reach is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Can the work in Dorney Reach be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Dorney Reach needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
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.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
