Grease filter exchange in Eversley, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. Common call-outs are for staff short of time to wash filters and grease collecting in the filter channels, across mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
Somewhere as small as Eversley, 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, whatever the size of the place.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Eversley.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. If the system at a site near Eversley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Eversley: your questions answered
Will you come out to Eversley?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Eversley is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which council inspects kitchens in Eversley?
In Eversley, it’s Wokingham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Eversley
Eversley 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. Kitchens in Eversley get their food hygiene inspections from Wokingham council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. 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 Wokingham Hospital about 4.1 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Stratfield Saye House is about 4.7 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Common problems we fix in Eversley
Long cooking hours in Eversley or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- A canopy that drips grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Eversley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
