Grease filter exchange in Middleton Stoney
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. Typical jobs include grease collecting in the filter channels and poor airflow through the filters, across baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like Middleton Stoney, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Common questions in Middleton Stoney
Do you cover smaller places like Middleton Stoney?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Middleton Stoney is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Middleton Stoney after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff don’t have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Middleton Stoney and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Middleton Stoney?
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Middleton Stoney is Bicester Community Hospital, about 3 miles east.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Middleton Stoney.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get 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 any work starts.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens in Middleton Stoney wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Planning a trip to Middleton Stoney ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
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. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
