How we handle grease filter exchange in Clanfield
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We’re often asked to deal with grease left in baffles after washing and missing filters in the filter bank, across wall canopies, island canopies and restaurants and pubs.
Somewhere as small as Clanfield, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Grease filter exchange in Clanfield: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Clanfield. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Clanfield. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Clanfield is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Historic houses near Clanfield, such as Kelmscott Manor about 2.7 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in Clanfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

What affects the quote in Clanfield
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Questions from Clanfield
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Clanfield out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Clanfield. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which environmental health team covers Clanfield?
The local authority for Clanfield is West Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What happens if it’s left?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a small place like Clanfield, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

- One number for every site across the South East and London
