Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Park Town
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you are dealing with a greasy plenum behind the filters and missing filters in the filter bank, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and mesh filters onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Park Town are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, with the duct running through a roof space or up an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What else we do in Park Town
How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Park Town
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Blocked baffle filters
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Wychwood School or anywhere near Park Town, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Questions from Park Town
Can a school canteen extract in Park Town be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. With about 88 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Park Town, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the dates the site is empty.
Do you work overnight in Park Town?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Park Town keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Grease deep in the extract system
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.

Grease filter exchange in Park Town: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 310 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 33 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Park Town. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. The fire and rescue service for Park Town is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Kitchens in Park Town get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For kitchens close to Oxford station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Park Town (Holywell Manor is about 0.9 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
