Grandpont grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for Grandpont, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
How we handle grease filter exchange in Grandpont
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are staff short of time to wash filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
For a smaller kitchen near Grandpont, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common questions in Grandpont
Can you work in Grandpont outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Grandpont needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Grandpont?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Grandpont. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. We plan the journey to Grandpont and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
Why deal with it now?
In Grandpont, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Kitchen extracts in Grandpont
There are about 337 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 38 takeaways and sandwich shops in Grandpont and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Grandpont is covered by 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. Kitchens in Grandpont get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
