Grease filter exchange in Netherton, done properly
An exchange visit in Netherton does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are missing filters in the filter bank and grease building up behind the canopy filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Netherton.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for 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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

FAQs for Netherton
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Netherton?
Netherton is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Netherton?
The local authority for Netherton is Vale of White Horse council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Netherton
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Netherton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Netherton. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Netherton is covered by 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.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Netherton (Appleton Manor is about 2 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Netherton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. For schools such as John Blandy Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Netherton
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
What affects the quote in Netherton

- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
