What grease filter exchange looks like in Stone Copse
The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs, bars and clubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses across Stone Copse 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. Environmental health officers from West Berkshire council inspect food businesses in Stone Copse. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Fire safety in Stone Copse falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Common questions in Stone Copse
Which council inspects kitchens in Stone Copse?
The local authority for Stone Copse is West Berkshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Is Stone Copse within the area you cover?
Yes, Stone Copse is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Stone Copse knowing what to expect.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Watch for grease drips between visits
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Stone Copse
Wherever you are, Stone Copse included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Where a hall near Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Stone Copse, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
