Why it’s worth doing now in Farnham Royal
In Farnham Royal, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Farnham Royal rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Grease filter exchange in Farnham Royal
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Typical jobs include bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, on mesh filters, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, 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. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease filter exchange around Farnham Royal

Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Farnham Royal. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Farnham Royal. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as St Mary's Farnham Royal CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere like Farnham Royal, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What affects the quote in Farnham Royal
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Common questions in Farnham Royal
Which fire service covers Farnham Royal?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Farnham Royal. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can school kitchens in Farnham Royal be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Farnham Royal, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Send us your term dates when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff don’t have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the service starts.

What a clean won’t put right

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
