Do you need grease filter exchange in Sibford Ferris?
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Broughton Castle is about 3.8 miles east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Sibford Ferris
Across Sibford Ferris, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. We’re often asked to deal with filter washing that keeps being missed and a canopy that drips grease, across mesh filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Sibford Ferris.

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Kitchen extracts in Sibford Ferris
In Sibford Ferris, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Sibford Ferris sits within the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Sibford Ferris
Can you work in Sibford Ferris outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Sibford Ferris keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Sibford Ferris?
Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Sibford Ferris. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
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.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will explain the options when you get in touch.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
