Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Peppard Hill
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
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, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Do not refit a filter that’s bent
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.

What else we do in Peppard Hill
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Peppard Hill wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it does not happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Somewhere as small as Peppard Hill, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Peppard Hill
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters will not seat properly.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Peppard Hill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Grease filter exchange around Peppard Hill
There are about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Peppard Hill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Food hygiene inspections in Peppard Hill are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Peppard Hill. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Where a hall near The Church of Christ the King, or anywhere in Peppard Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Greys Court is about 1.9 miles north-east), access may need planning. For schools such as Peppard Church of England Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Peppard Hill
Which fire authority looks after Peppard Hill?
Fire safety enforcement in Peppard Hill is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you cover smaller places like Peppard Hill?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Peppard Hill included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We’ll explain the options when you get in touch.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
