Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Northmoor
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you’re dealing with a canopy running with filters missing and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can put it right, from mesh filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Somewhere as small as Northmoor, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Grease filter exchange in Northmoor: the local picture
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 pubs and bars as registered food businesses across Northmoor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Northmoor is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s West Oxfordshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northmoor. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Denys or elsewhere in Northmoor, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Northmoor (Appleton Manor is about 1.7 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Abingdon Community Hospital (about 5.4 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Northmoor is about 6 miles north-west of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. We provide grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Northmoor and the rest of Oxfordshire. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, Northmoor among them. Oxford is in our area too, about 7 miles from Northmoor.
Work in OX29 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. You’ll find streets such as Chapel Lane and Bints Place, all of which we cover for grease filter exchange. Nearby, we also carry out grease filter exchange in Appleton (2 miles south-east), Sutton (2 miles north), Cumnor (3 miles east), Filchampstead (3 miles north-east) and Farmoor (3 miles north-east). Further out, we also cover Oxford (7 miles east), Didcot (10 miles south-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south-east), Witney (6 miles north-west), Carterton (9 miles west) and Wantage (9 miles south).

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
FAQs for Northmoor
Which council inspects kitchens in Northmoor?
Kitchens in Northmoor are inspected by West Oxfordshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can the work in Northmoor be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Northmoor can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is Northmoor in your area?
Yes. We work in Northmoor and across Oxfordshire, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Northmoor can be planned properly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
