How we handle grease filter exchange in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. We are often asked to deal with grease left in baffles after washing and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, on wall canopies, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. In a small place like Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area

Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End?
Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Is Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Sulhamstead Bannister Upper End.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.

- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
