About our grease filter exchange in New Yatt
An exchange visit in New Yatt does not take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. We are often asked to deal with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, on baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like New Yatt, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in New Yatt and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Do you need grease filter exchange in New Yatt?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Gaps where filters have been removed
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Mary's Church or anywhere around New Yatt, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

New Yatt kitchens: local notes
Look up New Yatt on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of New Yatt. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Food hygiene inspections in New Yatt are the job of West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Fire safety in New Yatt falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School or anywhere near New Yatt, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 3.4 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
New Yatt is about 2 miles north-east of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX29 area, we can take on grease filter exchange. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, and New Yatt is one of them. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 11 miles away.
All of OX29 is within our area for grease filter exchange, from busy streets to back roads. If you need grease filter exchange at premises on New Yatt Road and New Yatt Lane or a nearby road, we can help. If your site is just outside New Yatt, we cover North Leigh (1 mile east), Poffley End (1 mile west), Delly End (1 mile west), Hailey (2 miles west) and East End (2 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Oxford (11 miles south-east), Bicester (14 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (12 miles south-east), Carterton (7 miles south-west), Wantage (15 miles south) and Grove (14 miles south).
What’s near New Yatt
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The King's School, Wood Green School and The Saddlers Arms, among other places. The nearest railway station is Finstock station, about 2.7 miles north. Well-known places in the area include Cogges Manor Farm Museum (2.3 miles south-west). The countryside around New Yatt includes Blenheim Farm.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
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.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Why it’s worth doing now in New Yatt
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. If the system at a site near New Yatt fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we will tell you.

New Yatt questions
Can a school canteen extract in New Yatt be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 4 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of New Yatt. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work in villages like New Yatt?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and New Yatt is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
