Grease Filter Exchange in Tubney
Grease filter exchange across Tubney and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A canopy that drips grease
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
What staff can safely do
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Tubney
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you’re dealing with grease building up behind the canopy filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Tubney, 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 to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Tubney questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tubney?
The local authority for Tubney is Vale of White Horse council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you cover smaller places like Tubney?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How we price grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email 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 normally come back within one working day.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Visits to a village like Tubney are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area

What else we do in Tubney
Kitchen extracts in Tubney
Kitchens in Tubney get their food hygiene inspections from Vale of White Horse council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Tubney, about 56 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Lawrence or anywhere around Tubney, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Abingdon Community Hospital about 3.1 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Appleton Manor is about 1.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
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. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Why Tubney businesses choose us
- Every job surveyed first
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
