How we handle grease filter exchange in St. Ebbes
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you are dealing with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and poor airflow through the filters, we can help.
Size does not change the work: a kitchen in a place like St. Ebbes gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. The visit is booked around your opening hours, and the journey is planned ahead.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in St. Ebbes
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters don’t sit flush and grease passes round them.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to St. Ebbes is Radcliffe Infirmary, about 0.6 miles north.

St. Ebbes questions
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for St. Ebbes?
It’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service, which covers St. Ebbes. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which environmental health team covers St. Ebbes?
Food hygiene inspections in St. Ebbes are carried out by Oxford City council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you cover St. Ebbes?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes St. Ebbes.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep every filter in place during service
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen in the ducts.
Grease, kitchens and St. Ebbes
Food Standards Agency records list about 329 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around St. Ebbes, up to about a mile and a half out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kitchens in St. Ebbes get their food hygiene inspections from Oxford City council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers St. Ebbes. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Oxford Media & Business School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you cook for passing trade around Oxford station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

Work in OX1 and OX2 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. You will find streets such as New Road, Shoe Lane and Osney Lane, all of which we cover for grease filter exchange. You’ll find St. Ebbes on the A420, which makes it straightforward for our technicians to reach for out-of-hours visits. If your site is just outside St. Ebbes, we cover St John Street area (1 mile north), Grandpont (1 mile south), Osney (1 mile west), Jericho (1 mile north-west) and St Clement's (1 mile east).

What’s near St. Ebbes
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around St Ebbe's Church of England Aided Primary School, Oxford University Parks and The Royal Blenheim pub and the streets around them. You’ll also find Cheney School (1.6 miles east) and Radcliffe Camera (less than half a mile north-east). The closest station to St. Ebbes is Oxford station, about 0.5 miles west of the centre.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A site near St. Ebbes usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

What affects the quote in St. Ebbes
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

What else we do in St. Ebbes
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though usually at a gentler pace.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
