About our grease filter exchange in Great Rollright
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Great Rollright on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are gaps where filters have been removed and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

What else we do in Great Rollright
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
How we price grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Yes, Great Rollright is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Kitchens in Great Rollright are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.

Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Great Rollright, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Great Rollright wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We diagnose before we treat

Kitchen extracts in Great Rollright
The fire and rescue service for Great Rollright is 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 Great Rollright get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Great Rollright Church of England (Aided) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Great Rollright, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chastleton House is about 4.9 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
