About our grease filter exchange in Mongewell
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. The work covers baffle filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and people most often call us about poor airflow through the filters and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
Work in a small place like Mongewell starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mongewell
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Mongewell kitchens: local notes
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 9 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Mongewell. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Environmental health officers from South Oxfordshire council inspect food businesses in Mongewell. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Mongewell 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around Mongewell, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Crowmarsh Gifford Church of England School or anywhere near Mongewell, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Mongewell: your questions answered
Who is the fire and rescue service for Mongewell?
Mongewell is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers Mongewell?
Food hygiene inspections in Mongewell are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you work in Mongewell?
Yes. Our technicians work in Mongewell, within the South East and London area we cover.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Mongewell is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
