Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Shurlock Row
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
About our grease filter exchange in Shurlock Row
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you’re dealing with gaps where filters have been removed and damaged filters letting grease past, we can help, from baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Part by part
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Common questions in Shurlock Row
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shurlock Row?
The local authority for Shurlock Row is Windsor and Maidenhead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Shurlock Row during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 2 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Shurlock Row. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Waltham St Lawrence Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What happens if it’s left?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Shurlock Row, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Shurlock Row rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- Every job surveyed first
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Shurlock Row, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
