Grease filter exchange in Murcott
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Murcott, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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 are fully insured.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Murcott
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Leave it or put it right?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Somewhere as small as Murcott, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Murcott
Food hygiene inspections in Murcott are the job of Cherwell council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. About 51 miles out from central London, Murcott is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Bicester Community Hospital (about 4.1 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Historic houses near Murcott, such as Boarstall Tower about 2.7 miles east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Murcott questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Murcott?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Murcott 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 give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
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.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
