Grease filter exchange in Littlewick Green, done properly
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
For a kitchen in or near Littlewick Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We have 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.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. In a small place like Littlewick Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- 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.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
How we price grease filter exchange
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Littlewick Green
Do you work in villages like Littlewick Green?
Yes, Littlewick Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which fire service covers Littlewick Green?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Littlewick Green. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. A planned visit to Littlewick Green is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Kitchen extracts in Littlewick Green
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Littlewick Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. In Littlewick Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Littlewick Green is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
A hospital like St Mark's Hospital, about 2.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Littlewick Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. For schools such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
