About our grease filter exchange in Goddard's Green
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. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are a greasy plenum behind the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed.
In a small place like Goddard's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.

- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Goddard's Green
Who inspects food businesses in Goddard's Green?
In Goddard's Green, it’s West Berkshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Goddard's Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Goddard's Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Is Goddard's Green in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Goddard's Green, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

How the job changes from site to site

Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
If you need grease filter exchange in Goddard's Green, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a place like Goddard's Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Full insurance on every job
- In business since 2009
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
