About our grease filter exchange in Middlegreen
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Middlegreen, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have hand-washed filters that still look greasy and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help, from mesh filters, island canopies and baffle filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Middlegreen starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Middlegreen
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Do you need grease filter exchange in Middlegreen?
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
A hospital like Upton Hospital, about 1.6 miles west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
What your quote should include

What grease filter exchange looks like in Middlegreen
The FSA’s data shows about 8 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses registered across Middlegreen and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Middlegreen sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Food hygiene inspections in Middlegreen are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like The Langley Academy Primary for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. If you cook for passing trade around Langley station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Advice
Part by part
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Never cook with the extract switched off
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Middlegreen: your questions answered
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Middlegreen?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Middlegreen. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you work at weekends in Middlegreen?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Middlegreen keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
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 expects a risk-based approach.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is 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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you work in Middlegreen?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Middlegreen.
