Grease filter exchange in Marsh Gibbon, done properly
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. 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. Common call-outs are for filters so greasy the air can barely pass and damaged filters letting grease past, across wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
For a kitchen in or near Marsh Gibbon, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Marsh Gibbon before we set off.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

FAQs for Marsh Gibbon
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Marsh Gibbon?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Marsh Gibbon. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Marsh Gibbon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Marsh Gibbon keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll confirm it on site.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you cover Marsh Gibbon?
Yes. Marsh Gibbon is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What affects the quote in Marsh Gibbon
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
When to call us in Marsh Gibbon
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Blocked baffle filters
Historic houses near Marsh Gibbon, such as Claydon House about 4.8 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether VAT is included
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
