Yateley questions
Can school kitchens in Yateley be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 7 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Yateley, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Yateley?
That’s Hart council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Yateley. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you take the used filters away?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Yateley
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. Typical jobs include filters that come out of the sink still dirty and a greasy plenum behind the filters, across wall canopies, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
Most kitchens in a town like Yateley cannot close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Yateley
Kitchens in Yateley, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A canopy running with filters missing
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Blocked baffle filters
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Yateley is Pinewood Hospital, about 3.6 miles north-east.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Kitchen extracts in Yateley
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Yateley. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Yateley sits within the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight 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. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Yateley. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Yateley School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter or anywhere around Yateley, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens on the day

- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.

- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Grease, dust and wear all build up with time.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
