How we handle grease filter exchange in Neithrop
Across Neithrop, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have smoke and heat lingering under the hood and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Neithrop, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Neithrop, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. A planned visit to Neithrop fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Common problems we fix in Neithrop
Long cooking hours in Neithrop or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Paul's Church Centre, or anywhere in Neithrop, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.

Grease filter exchange in Neithrop: the local picture
Look up Neithrop on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 78 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 48 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Neithrop. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. In Neithrop, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Neithrop sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment

- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
