Grease filter exchange in Aston Tirrold

A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help.

For a kitchen in or near Aston Tirrold, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Aston Tirrold

Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.

What we are most often called out for:

  • Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
  • Grease left in baffles after washing
  • Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
  • A greasy plenum behind the filters

If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 3.3 miles north-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Aston Tirrold questions

Is Aston Tirrold within the area you cover?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Aston Tirrold included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Aston Tirrold?

Aston Tirrold is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.

Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?

Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.

What if some of our filters are damaged?

We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.

Where do the greasy filters go?

The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff do not have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

Can you give a price for filter changes?

Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the service starts.

The process

We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Aston Tirrold before we set off.

  1. We record the number, size and type of your filters.
  2. We set the interval with you.
  3. The dirty set is lifted out.
  4. A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
  5. The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice

Leave it or put it right?

When filters block, extraction suffers. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Aston Tirrold is calmer for everyone.

The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Why book with us

  • Fully insured
  • Every visit written up, with photos
  • A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
  • Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.

Keeping the system healthy

No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:

  • Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
  • Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
  • Let us know if your cooking hours increase
  • Keep canopy surfaces wiped down

Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.

Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

Different parts, different methods

School, care home and staff kitchens

Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
