Grease filter exchange in Hedgerley
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and grease dripping from the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Hedgerley, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean

Do you need grease filter exchange in Hedgerley?
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Blocked baffle filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Hedgerley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Kitchen extracts in Hedgerley
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs across Hedgerley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Kitchens in Hedgerley get their food hygiene inspections from Buckinghamshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Hedgerley sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

Why act early in Hedgerley
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. A fault that closes a site in a village like Hedgerley affects everyone who depends on it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What else we do in Hedgerley
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
