The process
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Visits to a village like Horton-cum-Studley are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Grease filter exchange in Horton-cum-Studley
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. If you have poor airflow through the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can help, from island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Common questions in Horton-cum-Studley
Is Horton-cum-Studley within the area you cover?
Yes. Horton-cum-Studley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come to Horton-cum-Studley after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horton-cum-Studley
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Part by part
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.

A hospital like Churchill Hospital, about 4.5 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Horton-cum-Studley (Boarstall Tower is about 2.2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
Do you need grease filter exchange in Horton-cum-Studley?
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Where a hall near Church of St Barnabas, or anywhere in Horton-cum-Studley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
