About our grease filter exchange in Stanton Harcourt
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are staff short of time to wash filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters.
Somewhere as small as Stanton Harcourt, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stanton Harcourt before we set off.
- 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.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Never cook with the extract switched off
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Grease filter exchange in Stanton Harcourt: the local picture
Stanton Harcourt, about 59 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Stanton Harcourt, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from West Oxfordshire council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Historic houses near Stanton Harcourt, such as Appleton Manor about 3.2 miles south-east, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael, or anywhere in Stanton Harcourt, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

FAQs for Stanton Harcourt
Who inspects food businesses in Stanton Harcourt?
Food hygiene inspections in Stanton Harcourt are carried out by West Oxfordshire council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Do you cover smaller places like Stanton Harcourt?
Yes, Stanton Harcourt is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
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 for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
