About grease filter exchange in Oxfordshire

In Oxfordshire, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged filters letting grease past and a canopy that drips grease.

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies.

First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.

Kitchen extracts across Oxfordshire

Across Oxfordshire, from Oxford, Banbury and Didcot outwards, kitchens range from town-centre restaurants and takeaways to pubs, hotels, schools and care homes. Each extract is cleaned to the same TR19® standard, canopy to discharge.

Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across Oxfordshire do not have to lose a day.

Oxford: Where a hall near St Clement's Church, or anywhere in Oxford, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Historic houses near Oxford, such as Holywell Manor about 0.8 miles north-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Why act early?

When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Oxfordshire

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

The times the site is available
What state the system is in
A single visit or a regular plan
How many systems or sites are involved

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What we need to know

There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The times we could work without disrupting the site
Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
The postcode and the type of business

For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Part by part

School, care home and staff kitchens

Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.

Mesh filters

Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.

Oxfordshire questions

Are you accredited?

Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.

Do you work in Oxfordshire?

Yes. We cover Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?

There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

Do you take the used filters away?

The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.

What’s TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
