Grease filter exchange in Grimsbury
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have filters left unwashed on busy weeks and blocked baffle filters, we can put it right.
For a smaller kitchen near Grimsbury, a TR19® clean is the same job as anywhere: canopy, filters, plenum, duct, fan and discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grimsbury questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Grimsbury?
The local authority for Grimsbury is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Grimsbury?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Grimsbury. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does the visit take?
We will confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
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. None of it is left on site.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How we price grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Grimsbury
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Wall canopies

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a place like Grimsbury, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Ask for a quote
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.
