In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
About our grease filter exchange in Redbridge
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help.
In a small place like Redbridge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.

Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Redbridge.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Redbridge kitchens: local notes
Look up Redbridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 103 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 22 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Redbridge. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Environmental health officers from Oxford City council inspect food businesses in Redbridge. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Redbridge is 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 Littlemore Hospital (about 1.3 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. Church and community hall kitchens, near St Luke's Church or anywhere around Redbridge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Why act early in Redbridge
For any kitchen in Redbridge, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Redbridge?
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Redbridge (Holywell Manor is about 1.9 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.

Common questions in Redbridge
Can you come to Redbridge after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Redbridge doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Redbridge?
In Redbridge, it’s Oxford City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t 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 have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
