About our grease filter exchange in Shepherd's Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have gaps where filters have been removed and a canopy that drips grease, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the quote in Shepherd's Green
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
For grease filter exchange in Shepherd's Green, call 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shepherd's Green
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Questions from Shepherd's Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Shepherd's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Shepherd's Green is handled by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you get to a site in Shepherd's Green?
Yes. Shepherd's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Most changes take less than an hour in most kitchens, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever we can.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Shepherd's Green
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Battle Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shepherd's Green, about 6 miles south.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Shepherd's Green
Fire safety in Shepherd's Green falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Shepherd's Green, about 38 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Peppard Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Shepherd's Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. 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 0.7 miles east), access may need planning.

Around Shepherd's Green
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Maiden Erlegh Chiltern Edge and The Lamb pub and the streets around them. The closest station to Shepherd's Green is Henley-On-Thames station, roughly 3.2 miles east of the centre. Nearby you will also find Frazer Nash Archives (3.4 miles east) and Battle Hospital (6 miles south). Open spaces near Shepherd's Green include Warburg Nature Reserve.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking and the plenum may need a clean as well.
