Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Burcot
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with gaps where filters have been removed and blocked baffle filters, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Burcot and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system

Do you need grease filter exchange in Burcot?
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
What we are most often called out for:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
School kitchens, at schools like Abbey Woods Academy for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Burcot: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Burcot?
The local authority for Burcot is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Burcot be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Burcot needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Burcot?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Burcot included.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, or we will check on the first visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Burcot
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Watch for grease drips between visits
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
