Grease filter exchange in Moreton
In Moreton, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include grease building up behind the canopy filters and a canopy running with filters missing, on island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
In a small place like Moreton, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What we are called out for in Moreton
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A canopy that drips grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Damaged filters letting grease past
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Thame Community Hospital about 1.2 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
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. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Grease, kitchens and Moreton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Moreton. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s South Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Moreton. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Moreton falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Historic houses near Moreton, such as Adwell House about 3.3 miles south, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lord Williams's School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Questions from Moreton
Can you come to Moreton after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Moreton does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Moreton?
The local authority for Moreton is South Oxfordshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every 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.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In a small place like Moreton, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
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.

Different parts, different methods
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
