Common questions in Bampton
Will you come out to Bampton?
Yes. Bampton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Bampton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bampton needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
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.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bampton
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you are dealing with a canopy that drips grease and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help, from baffle filters, island canopies and mesh filters onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Bampton are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
What we’re called out for in Bampton
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Bampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of insurance
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bampton
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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 send you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Your opening hours decide when we come to Bampton, not ours.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us 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 typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Bampton
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses in Bampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for Bampton is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Bampton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
School kitchens, at schools like Bampton CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
