Grease filter exchange in Cuddesdon, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. We are often asked to deal with grease building up behind the canopy filters and grease left in baffles after washing, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens.
Work in a small place like Cuddesdon starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Cuddesdon
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Blocked baffle filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of All Saints or anywhere around Cuddesdon, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Cuddesdon and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why deal with it now?
For any kitchen in Cuddesdon, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Cuddesdon kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Cuddesdon are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. At about 47 miles from central London, Cuddesdon sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Garsington Church of England Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Cuddesdon is Slade Hospital, about 3.2 miles north-west.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Cuddesdon and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Common questions in Cuddesdon
Will you come out to Cuddesdon?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can the work in Cuddesdon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Cuddesdon does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
