A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. A fault that closes a site in a village like Dane Hill affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Grease filter exchange in Dane Hill
Across Dane Hill, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help, from island canopies, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies onwards.
Somewhere as small as Dane Hill, 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, whatever the size of the place.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work

Do you need grease filter exchange in Dane Hill?
Kitchens in Dane Hill, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Blocked baffle filters
Around Dane Hill, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether VAT is included
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Dane Hill questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Dane Hill?
In Dane Hill, it’s Cherwell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Dane Hill?
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 you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Dane Hill before we set off.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- 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
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Dane Hill sits within the area of 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.

Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
