Grease filter exchange in Great Tew, done properly
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can help, from wall canopies, mesh filters and baffle filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Great Tew starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Great Tew
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Great Tew questions
Can you work in Great Tew outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Great Tew?
Food hygiene inspections in Great Tew are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, or we’ll check on the first visit.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Great Tew wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. If the system at a site near Great Tew fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
School kitchens, at schools like Great Tew County Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
