Grease filter exchange in Leafield
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. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you are dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Leafield, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. A planned visit to Leafield is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Leafield kitchens: local notes
In Leafield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Leafield is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 2.5 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Leafield, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Leafield is about 4 miles north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Leafield?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Leafield Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Leafield, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Common questions in Leafield
Can the work in Leafield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Leafield needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Leafield?
That’s West Oxfordshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Leafield. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Leafield and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
