Grease filter exchange in Oakshott, done properly
In Oakshott, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have a canopy that drips grease and filters that come out of the sink still dirty, we can help, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Work in a small place like Oakshott starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, 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 we are called out for in Oakshott
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Oakshott, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first

What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Oakshott.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Advice
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Oakshott and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Oakshott
Can you work in Oakshott outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Oakshott keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Oakshott?
Oakshott is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
