How we handle grease filter exchange in Pusey
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you’re dealing with gaps where filters have been removed and grease left in baffles after washing, we can put it right, from island canopies, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies onwards.
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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Pusey, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Pusey
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Longworth House, about 2.4 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Pusey; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Pusey
Is Pusey within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Pusey is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work at weekends in Pusey?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Pusey can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you take the used filters away?
We take them away. That’s the point of an exchange: you always have a clean set fitted and nothing greasy left on site.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
How we price grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The number of sites or systems
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. Planning a trip to Pusey ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Trading since 2009

What grease filter exchange looks like in Pusey
Food hygiene inspections in Pusey are the job of Vale of White Horse council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Pusey sits within the area of Oxfordshire 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.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Longworth Hospital (about 4.3 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. School kitchens, at schools like Buckland Church of England Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
