About our grease filter exchange in Blewbury
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Blewbury, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

Yes, Blewbury is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Blewbury?
Food hygiene inspections in Blewbury are carried out by Vale of White Horse council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do I get a report after the visit?

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Grease, kitchens and Blewbury
Blewbury, about 49 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Blewbury sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Blewbury Endowed Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Blewbury, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Michael or anywhere around Blewbury, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

What happens if it’s left?

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Common problems we fix in Blewbury
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Historic houses near Blewbury, such as Brightwell Manor about 4.1 miles north-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Watch for grease drips between visits
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks, so they need changing often.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
