How we handle grease filter exchange in Chadlington
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. We’re often asked to deal with grease collecting in the filter channels and grease dripping from the canopy, on school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and baffle filters.
Work in a small place like Chadlington starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Chadlington and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Chadlington?
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters don’t sit flush and grease passes round them.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chadlington Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Common questions in Chadlington
Can you get to a site in Chadlington?
Yes. Chadlington 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 the work in Chadlington be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Chadlington needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we’ll adjust it.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Chadlington
Kitchens in Chadlington get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. The fire and rescue service for Chadlington 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Nicholas or anywhere around Chadlington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Advice
Why act early in Chadlington
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below, which an EHO may well notice. A fault that closes a site in a village like Chadlington affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A noisy or failed extract fan
