Stoke Poges grease filter exchange
For a scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones in Stoke Poges, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.

- Weak extraction at the canopy

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers

Grease filter exchange in Stoke Poges
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing, we can put it right, from baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies onwards.
In a smaller place like Stoke Poges, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

Stoke Poges: your questions answered
Which fire authority looks after Stoke Poges?
Fire safety enforcement in Stoke Poges is handled by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you cover smaller places like Stoke Poges?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stoke Poges is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That is how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.

Why act early in Stoke Poges
Some kitchens in Stoke Poges wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Around Stoke Poges, access is usually simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
