How we handle grease filter exchange in Quelm Park
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. Common call-outs are for staff short of time to wash filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, on island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Kitchens around a place like Quelm Park are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Bracknell Forest. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Grease, kitchens and Quelm Park
The FSA’s data shows about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and B&Bs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Quelm Park. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Quelm Park are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Quelm Park is covered by 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.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 3 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sandy Lane Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How much does a filter exchange service cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.

The process
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 a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Quelm Park, so let us know how to reach it.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why act early in Quelm Park
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Quelm Park, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Booking now means the visit to Quelm Park is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Quelm Park

What we’re called out for in Quelm Park
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters don’t sit flush and grease passes round them.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew or anywhere around Quelm Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, 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.
