Wick Hill grease filter exchange

Grease filter exchange in Wick Hill: the local picture

Look up Wick Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 63 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 19 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Wick Hill. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s Bracknell Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wick Hill. 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. Wick Hill sits within the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Heatherwood Hospital (about 2.4 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Warfield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Wick Hill, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

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.

Canopy filter housings

The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we will tell you.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wick Hill

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
