Nuneham Courtenay: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nuneham Courtenay?
Food hygiene inspections in Nuneham Courtenay are carried out by South Oxfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Is Nuneham Courtenay within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Grease filter exchange in Nuneham Courtenay, done properly
Across Nuneham Courtenay, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and blocked baffle filters.
Somewhere as small as Nuneham Courtenay, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Nuneham Courtenay
Nuneham Courtenay is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Nuneham Courtenay, about 49 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Nuneham Courtenay, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Clifton Hampden Manor is about 2.3 miles south), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Nuneham Courtenay before we set off.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
What we’re called out for in Nuneham Courtenay
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
School kitchens, at schools like Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in Nuneham Courtenay
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Always run the extract while cooking
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
What affects the quote in Nuneham Courtenay
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
If you need grease filter exchange in Nuneham Courtenay, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
