How we handle grease filter exchange in Jealott's Hill
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you’re dealing with grease filters clogged with grease and a canopy running with filters missing, we can put it right, from mesh filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Jealott's Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually 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, whatever the size of the place.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. 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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Jealott's Hill.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
Do you need grease filter exchange in Jealott's Hill?
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Staff short of time to wash filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Garth Hill College, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters

Kitchen extracts in Jealott's Hill
Food hygiene inspections in Jealott's Hill are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in Jealott's Hill falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (St Leonard's Hill is about 4.5 miles east), access may need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 4.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Leave it or put it right?

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Jealott's Hill
Can you come to Jealott's Hill after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Jealott's Hill needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire authority looks after Jealott's Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Jealott's Hill is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens to the dirty filters?
They leave with us. That is how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
