- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Damaged filters letting grease past

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens

About our grease filter exchange in Streatley
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you’re dealing with blocked baffle filters and missing filters in the filter bank, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and baffle 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. We agree access and timings in advance.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Why act early in Streatley
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Streatley is calmer for everyone.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Kitchen extracts in Streatley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Streatley, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s West Berkshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Streatley. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Streatley is 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Streatley C.E. Voluntary Controlled School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Basildon Park, about 2.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses near Streatley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Streatley is about 7 miles south-east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire.

Common problems we fix in Streatley
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
What we are most often called out for:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary or anywhere around Streatley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before booking anyone
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Streatley.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Streatley questions
Which fire service covers Streatley?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Streatley. 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 Streatley?
Yes. Streatley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we will check on the first visit.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
