Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Wexham Court
In Wexham Court, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Wexham Court, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

When to call us in Wexham Court
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
For schools such as Wexham School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Somewhere as small as Wexham Court, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Part by part
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report a dripping canopy early
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Wexham Court, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Wexham Court: your questions answered
Can the work in Wexham Court be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is Wexham Court within the area you cover?

Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we’ll quote quickly.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Slough. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
