Grease filter exchange in Edgehill, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and poor airflow through the filters.
For a kitchen in or near Edgehill, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Edgehill knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Why act early in Edgehill
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
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, you get a fixed price before we start.

When to call us in Edgehill
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Edgehill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Edgehill kitchens: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Edgehill are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Edgehill 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Edgehill (Upton House is about 1 mile south), fitting access panels needs care.

Edgehill: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Edgehill?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you work in villages like Edgehill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Edgehill included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will show you which ones when we find them.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
