Why act early in Remenham Hill
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. In a place like Remenham Hill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Remenham Hill
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right, from wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.
In a small place like Remenham Hill, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common problems we fix in Remenham Hill
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Damaged filters letting grease past
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Rupert House School or anywhere near Remenham Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Remenham Hill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 17 pubs and bars within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Remenham Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Remenham Hill are the job of Wokingham council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Remenham Hill is covered by Oxfordshire 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.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Greenlands is about 1.7 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Marlow Community Hospital is the nearest hospital to Remenham Hill, about 5.1 miles north-east.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Make sure no filter is left out
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.

What else we do in Remenham Hill
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

FAQs for Remenham Hill
Can you work in Remenham Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Remenham Hill?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Remenham Hill. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we’ll adjust it.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere as small as Remenham Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
