How we handle grease filter exchange in Wexham Street
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. We are often asked to deal with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and a canopy that drips grease, on school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
Work in a small place like Wexham Street starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes less than an hour in most kitchens. The timing of a visit to Wexham Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

FAQs for Wexham Street
Can you come to Wexham Street after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Wexham Street needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wexham Street?
That is Buckinghamshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wexham Street. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Can we book visits on a schedule?

Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wexham Street
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Leave those to us.
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.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
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 until the next TR19 clean.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Wexham Street
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A canopy that drips grease
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew's Church Centre or elsewhere in Wexham Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Before booking anyone

What grease filter exchange looks like in Wexham Street
There are about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Wexham Street, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Environmental health officers from Buckinghamshire council inspect food businesses in Wexham Street. 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. Wexham Street is covered by Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
For schools such as Khalsa Secondary Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Windsor Castle is about 4.3 miles south), access may need planning.
