What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Grease filter exchange in Furze Platt, done properly
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are grease collecting in the filter channels and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
Around a smaller place like Furze Platt, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Furze Platt
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How it works

Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Kitchens in Furze Platt get their food hygiene inspections from Windsor and Maidenhead council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

When to call us in Furze Platt
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Furze Platt Senior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
