Grease filter exchange in Hurley, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are a greasy plenum behind the filters and blocked baffle filters.
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. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Look out for drips from the canopy
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.

FAQs for Hurley
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Hurley in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Hurley. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Hurley?
That’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away. That is how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Hurley.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.

Common problems we fix in Hurley
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Look out for any of the following:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Hurley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
