Grease filter exchange in Henton
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and common reasons people get in touch are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and weak extraction at the canopy.
Somewhere as small as Henton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
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. The work on site takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Henton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Henton kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Henton, up to about a mile and a half out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Fire safety in Henton falls to 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. In Henton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Trinity or anywhere around Henton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Other services in Henton
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 grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Common problems we fix in Henton
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Adwell House, about 4.6 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses near Henton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Henton questions
Do you cover smaller places like Henton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Henton included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which council inspects kitchens in Henton?
That is South Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Henton. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
