Managing agents and facilities teams in Enborne Row
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
About our grease filter exchange in Enborne Row
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though normally at a gentler pace.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Grease filter exchange in Enborne Row: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Enborne Row. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Enborne Row falls to 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. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Enborne Row. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like West Berkshire Community Hospital about 3.9 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Enborne C.E. Primary School or anywhere near Enborne Row, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What else we do in Enborne Row
Do you need grease filter exchange in Enborne Row?
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Historic houses near Enborne Row, such as Stargroves about 2.6 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

Enborne Row: your questions answered
Can the work in Enborne Row be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Enborne Row keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Enborne Row?
The local authority for Enborne Row is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you work in Enborne Row?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Enborne Row.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
