Grease filter exchange in White Waltham
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are smoke and heat lingering under the hood and a canopy that drips grease.
Somewhere as small as White Waltham, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in White Waltham
Can you get to a site in White Waltham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, White Waltham included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in White Waltham in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around White Waltham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to White Waltham can be planned properly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in White Waltham
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
White Waltham kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of White Waltham. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Food hygiene inspections in White Waltham are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers White Waltham. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in White Waltham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St Mark's Hospital (about 2.6 miles north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Bursars and site managers at schools such as White Waltham CofE Academy tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Need a price for grease filter exchange? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with a few details about the site. We will talk you through the work and give you a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
