About our grease filter exchange in Dean Court
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can help.
Around a smaller place like Dean Court, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Grease, kitchens and Dean Court
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways in and around Dean Court, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Dean Court is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Dean Court, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Vale of White Horse council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Andrew's or elsewhere in Dean Court, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Dean Court (Holywell Manor is about 2.7 miles east), fitting access panels needs care.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a place like Dean Court, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

When to call us in Dean Court
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
What we are most often called out for:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Matthew Arnold School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Dean Court
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Dean Court?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Dean Court. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Dean Court in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Dean Court. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
How we price grease filter exchange

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
