Grease filter exchange in Offington, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction at the canopy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
In a village or hamlet like Offington, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
What affects the quote in Offington
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Visits to a village like Offington are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What we are called out for in Offington
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Thomas A Becket Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day

What staff can safely do
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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
FAQs for Offington
Can school kitchens in Offington be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Offington, the Food Standards Agency lists about 13 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Do you work in villages like Offington?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Offington included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
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.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both means neither slips.
