How we handle grease filter exchange in Wraysbury

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. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.

For a smaller kitchen near Wraysbury, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.

The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What we are called out for in Wraysbury

Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • A greasy plenum behind the filters
  • Gaps where filters have been removed
  • Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
  • Filter washing that keeps being missed

For schools such as Wraysbury Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a written report and photos are included
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Proof of insurance

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Aftercare tips

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
  • Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
  • Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
  • Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged

If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.

Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.

Wraysbury: your questions answered

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Wraysbury during the holidays?

Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 9 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Wraysbury. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.

Can the work in Wraysbury be done at night or at weekends?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Wraysbury can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.

What is TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

What about areas you cannot get to?

We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.

What accreditations do you have?

We are 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.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Do you cover Wraysbury?

Yes. We cover Wraysbury and across Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?

Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.

Wraysbury kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within about 1.5 miles of central Wraysbury. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Wraysbury. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Wraysbury. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Wraysbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Commuter trade near Sunnymeads station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Wraysbury is about 2 miles north of Egham, in Surrey. Wraysbury gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Our area takes in 395 places across Surrey, large and small. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 15 miles away.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Why deal with it now?

Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.

We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Why book with us

  • Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
  • Fully insured
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

The process

The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Wraysbury when you book.

  1. We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
  2. Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
  3. Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
  4. We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
  5. We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Related advice

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

How the job changes from site to site

The plenum

Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.

Baffle filters

When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
