Signs you need grease filter exchange in Oving
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Poor airflow through the filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Westbourne House School or anywhere near Oving, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Oving
In Oving, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you are dealing with poor airflow through the filters and missing filters in the filter bank, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Oving, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Oving
Is Oving within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Oving included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Oving in the summer holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Food Standards Agency records list about 3 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Oving. You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the dates the site is empty.
Do you take the used filters away?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff do not have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
What types of filter do you exchange?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Tell us what you have when you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, or we’ll check on the first visit.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Why act early in Oving
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. With notice, the visit to Oving can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
