- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.

Advice
About our grease filter exchange in Bunkers Hill
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and grease left in baffles after washing.
In a village or hamlet like Bunkers Hill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are usually a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
Bunkers Hill kitchens: local notes
The fire and rescue service for Bunkers Hill is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Bunkers Hill, about 58 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Bunkers Hill (Blenheim Palace is about 2.3 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Marlborough School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Bunkers Hill is about 7 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire.

We cover 443 places across Oxfordshire, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Oxford page, about 8 miles away.

Why deal with it now?
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. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay 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 we start, so you know where you stand.

What we’re called out for in Bunkers Hill
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Cross, or anywhere in Bunkers Hill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
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.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
