Grease filter exchange near St Clement's

Why act early in St Clement's

Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. A site near St Clement's that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.

Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange in St Clement's, done properly

The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right, from island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.

Around a smaller place like St Clement's, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so the interval is set by hours of use and grease readings.

Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in St Clement's

Which fire authority looks after St Clement's?

St Clement's is in the area of 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.

Do you work at weekends in St Clement's?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in St Clement's doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.

How often should grease filters be changed?

It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do you cover St Clement's?

Yes. We work in St Clement's and across Oxfordshire, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.

Which accreditations do you hold?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.

What do you do to protect the area?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Multi-site and managed buildings

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Grease, kitchens and St Clement's

Food Standards Agency records include about 100 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 16 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of St Clement's. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. The fire and rescue service for St Clement's is 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. Environmental health officers from Oxford City council inspect food businesses in St Clement's. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.

A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Clement's Church or elsewhere in St Clement's, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like East Oxford Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to St Clement's is Warneford Hospital, about 0.8 miles east.

Keeping the system healthy

Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:

  • Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
  • Always run the extract while cooking
  • Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
  • Mention it if the kitchen gets busier

Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.

A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.

The process

Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. We plan the journey to St Clement's and bring what the job is likely to need.

  1. First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
  2. We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
  3. On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
  4. We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
  5. We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.

How to prepare

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
