Grease filter exchange in Burdrop, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, across wall canopies, island canopies and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Burdrop, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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.
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, with full insurance on top.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Look out for drips from the canopy
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Grease filter exchange in Burdrop: the local picture
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Burdrop. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Cherwell council inspect food businesses in Burdrop. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sibford Gower Endowed Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Burdrop, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burdrop (Broughton Castle is about 3.8 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

Why act early in Burdrop
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. A fault that closes a site in a village like Burdrop affects everyone who depends on it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Multi-site and managed buildings
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. 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 work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burdrop run smoothly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

FAQs for Burdrop
Which environmental health team covers Burdrop?
The local authority for Burdrop is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work overnight in Burdrop?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Where do the greasy filters go?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
How we price grease filter exchange
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
