What happens if it’s left?

About our grease filter exchange in Warren Row
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and grease filters clogged with grease, we can put it right.
Work in a small place like Warren Row starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Warren Row kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 5 pubs and bars registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Warren Row. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In Warren Row, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Warren Row 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 3.5 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For schools such as Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Warren Row
Can the work in Warren Row be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Warren Row keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Warren Row?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Warren Row included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
How long will you be on site?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Warren Row?
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Damaged filters letting grease past
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Paul's Mission Church or elsewhere in Warren Row, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Comparing quotes
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Always run the extract while cooking
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
