About our grease filter exchange in Eddington
Across Eddington, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. We’re often asked to deal with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and staff short of time to wash filters, on island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Eddington, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
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.
How we price grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Eddington knowing what to expect.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
FAQs for Eddington
Can you get to a site in Eddington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eddington is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Eddington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Eddington needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for a typical site it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease filter exchange around Eddington
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs in and around Eddington, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Eddington sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Food hygiene inspections in Eddington are the job of West Berkshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you cook for passing trade around Hungerford station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Where a hall near Hungerford Methodist Church, or anywhere in Eddington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
