For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Windsor and Maidenhead. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Grease filter exchange in Winkfield Street, done properly
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. 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. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, across baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Winkfield Street
Which fire authority looks after Winkfield Street?
It’s Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Winkfield Street. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you work in villages like Winkfield Street?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.

The process
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Winkfield Street knowing what to expect.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
When to call us in Winkfield Street
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Historic houses near Winkfield Street, such as St Leonard's Hill about 2.8 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Grease filter exchange in Winkfield Street: the local picture
At about 27 miles from central London, Winkfield Street sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. The fire and rescue service for Winkfield Street is Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Winkfield Street, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Winkfield Street is Heatherwood Hospital, about 2.6 miles south.

Why deal with it now?
In Winkfield Street, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Somewhere as small as Winkfield Street, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
