How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
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.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Shenington
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. 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. If you are dealing with blocked baffle filters and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
In a small place like Shenington, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Make sure no filter is left out
The next exchange is already in the diary. 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.
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Shenington before we set off.
- 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.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Why act early in Shenington
For any kitchen in Shenington, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A fault that closes a site in a village like Shenington affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange around Shenington
It’s Cherwell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shenington. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Shenington. 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 that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Horton General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shenington, about 5.6 miles east. Where a hall near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Shenington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Shenington Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Shenington, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

Part by part
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem 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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Common questions in Shenington
Can you come to Shenington after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Shenington needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Shenington?
The local authority for Shenington is Cherwell council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will show you which ones when we find them.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
