Grease filter exchange across Temple Park

What we’re called out for in Temple Park

Long cooking hours in Temple Park or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Gaps where filters have been removed
  • Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
  • Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
  • Filters that leave gaps in the canopy

If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Meadow Vale Primary School or anywhere near Temple Park, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

What your quote should include

  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • What’s included in the scope, part by part
  • What records you will receive afterwards
  • Whether a survey comes first

How we handle grease filter exchange in Temple Park

Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you are dealing with grease filters clogged with grease and missing filters in the filter bank, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and mesh filters onwards.

In a smaller place like Temple Park, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Temple Park

Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Temple Park in the summer holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Temple Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.

Do you work at weekends in Temple Park?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Temple Park can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What types of filter do you exchange?

We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.

What if some of our filters are damaged?

Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.

Can you give a price for filter changes?

We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we’ll quote quickly.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.

What staff can safely do

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs 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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Temple Park

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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 can quote for the whole system.

Grease filter exchange around Temple Park

The Food Standards Agency lists about 7 pubs and bars and about 3 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Temple Park. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Temple Park is covered by Royal Berkshire 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. Food hygiene inspections in Temple Park are the job of Bracknell Forest council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Pinewood Hospital is the nearest hospital to Temple Park, about 2.9 miles south. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Andrew or anywhere around Temple Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Part by part

Mesh filters

Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.

School, care home and staff kitchens

Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.

Aftercare tips

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
  • Keep every filter in place during service
  • Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
  • Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed

The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.

Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

Why it’s worth doing now in Temple Park

Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Temple Park when you book.

  1. We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
  2. We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
  3. We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
  4. The filters are checked for fit before we go.
  5. Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
