About our grease filter exchange in Sunninghill
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help.
Kitchens around a place like Sunninghill are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Grease, kitchens and Sunninghill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses as registered food businesses across Sunninghill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Sunninghill. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Sunninghill falls to Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Historic houses near Sunninghill, such as St Leonard's Hill about 4.6 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. A hospital like Heatherwood Hospital, about 1.5 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A site near Sunninghill normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Sunninghill?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Sunninghill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions from Sunninghill
