The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Tickleback Row before we set off.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Tickleback Row
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Tickleback Row on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Common call-outs are for filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, across mesh filters, island canopies and baffle filters.
In a small place like Tickleback Row, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Tickleback Row kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tickleback Row. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Environmental health officers from Bracknell Forest council inspect food businesses in Tickleback Row. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Tickleback Row is 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Tickleback Row, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Tickleback Row, such as St Leonard's Hill about 4.7 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

How we price grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The times the site is available
- How big the system is
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Tickleback Row
Which fire authority looks after Tickleback Row?
Tickleback Row is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work overnight in Tickleback Row?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Tickleback Row needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
Common problems we fix in Tickleback Row
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- A canopy that drips grease
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Heatherwood Hospital about 3.9 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tickleback Row now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Tickleback Row
- School and hospital kitchens

What staff can safely do
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’s our job.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
