  2. An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
  3. On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.

  5. The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.

Advice

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Eton

Each visit is quick and tidy. 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. We’re often asked to deal with grease building up behind the canopy filters and weak extraction at the canopy, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.

In a village or hamlet like Eton, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?

When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. With notice, the visit to Eton can be fitted around your bookings and events.

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:

  • A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
  • A canopy that needs a proper clean
  • Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What the work covers

Eton kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency records include about 38 pubs, bars and clubs and about 15 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eton. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Eton. 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. Fire safety in Eton falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Upton Hospital about 1.1 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 Eton Porny CofE First School or anywhere near Eton, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Eton

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How big the system is
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

What to send for a quote

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • The postcode and the type of business

  • Any access panels or hatches you can see

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Common questions in Eton

Is Eton within the area you cover?

Yes, Eton is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Which fire authority looks after Eton?

Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Eton. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?

A change takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, so disruption is small. We will fit it around your service wherever we can.

What if some of our filters are damaged?

A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.

How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?

It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Between visits

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
  • Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
  • Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
  • Tell us if the menu or opening hours change

Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.

Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

When to call us in Eton

Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.

Common reasons sites call us are:

  • Grease building up behind the canopy filters
  • Grease filters clogged with grease
  • Missing filters in the filter bank
  • Poor airflow through the filters

Commuter trade near Windsor & Eton Riverside station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

What to look for in a quote

  • When the next visit should be, and why
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • Whether the price is fixed
  • Whether a written report and photos are included

Our hiring checklist

What your team can do, and what needs us

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
