Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Duns Tew
An exchange visit in Duns Tew does not take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers island canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about a canopy that drips grease and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
Somewhere as small as Duns Tew, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Duns Tew kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Duns Tew are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Duns Tew sits within the area of 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.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere in Duns Tew, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. In and around Duns Tew, every reachable section of the extract is cleaned, and anything we cannot reach goes on the report.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Always run the extract while cooking
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Duns Tew, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Duns Tew
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
