Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in North Moreton
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. Common call-outs are for weak extraction at the canopy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, across restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens.
In a small place like North 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. With notice, the visit to North Moreton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If you can send photos, we can arrive in North Moreton knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.

Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.

When it’s something else

- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start

FAQs for North Moreton
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in North Moreton?
North Moreton 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.
Do you work at weekends in North Moreton?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in North Moreton needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in North Moreton
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
What we are most often called out for:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Brightwell Manor, about 1.2 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near North Moreton; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
