Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Wokefield
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. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. We are often asked to deal with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease collecting in the filter channels, on wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Wokefield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
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.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Somewhere as small as Wokefield, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Wokefield questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wokefield?
Wokefield is in the area of Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service. 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 cover smaller places like Wokefield?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wokefield included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we will check on the first visit.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Kitchen extracts in Wokefield
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Wokefield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Wokefield get their food hygiene inspections from West Berkshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Wokefield. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wokefield is Battle Hospital, about 4.6 miles north. Stratfield Saye House, about 3.4 miles south, is one of the historic houses near Wokefield; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. Term dates shape school work: for a school like The Willink School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Wokefield can be planned properly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. 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.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
