Grease filter exchange in Spelsbury, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. We’re often asked to deal with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across island canopies, wall canopies and mesh filters.
For a kitchen in or near Spelsbury, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the quote in Spelsbury
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Spelsbury and across Oxfordshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is normally the tightest.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Spelsbury kitchens: local notes
Spelsbury is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Spelsbury, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Chadlington Church of England Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Spelsbury, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Spelsbury is about 7 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire.

What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Spelsbury knowing what to expect.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Spelsbury questions
Which fire service covers Spelsbury?
Spelsbury is in the area of Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Who inspects food businesses in Spelsbury?
Food hygiene inspections in Spelsbury are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
Do you cover Spelsbury?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Spelsbury included.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Why deal with it now?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. With notice, the visit to Spelsbury can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
