About our grease filter exchange in Shillingford
An exchange visit in Shillingford doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. We are often asked to deal with damaged filters letting grease past and a greasy plenum behind the filters, across island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
In a village or hamlet like Shillingford, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Shillingford can be planned properly.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.

Kitchen extracts in Shillingford
The Food Standards Agency lists about 3 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Shillingford. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Food hygiene inspections in Shillingford are the job of South Oxfordshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Shillingford. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Laurence Church of England (A) School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Brightwell Manor is about 1.8 miles south-west), access may need planning.
Shillingford is about 5 miles east of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Shillingford gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Shillingford is one of 443 places in Oxfordshire where we work for grease filter exchange. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 9 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Shillingford
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Shillingford, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

FAQs for Shillingford
Which fire authority looks after Shillingford?
That is Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Shillingford after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Shillingford needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It isn’t. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shillingford
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
