Grease filter exchange in Oxley Green
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. Typical jobs include staff short of time to wash filters and poor airflow through the filters, on baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Work in a small place like Oxley Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Oxley Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Oxley Green
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Oxley Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Oxley Green. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Oxley Green sits within the area of Essex County Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Maldon council inspect food businesses in Oxley Green. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Layer Marney Tower is about 2.3 miles north-east), access may need planning. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Oxley Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Thurstable School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Common questions in Oxley Green
Will you come out to Oxley Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Oxley Green is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who inspects food businesses in Oxley Green?
The local authority for Oxley Green is Maldon council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Oxley Green
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens

Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
