About our grease filter exchange in Turville
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. 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. We are often asked to deal with staff short of time to wash filters and grease left in baffles after washing, on baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies.
In a small place like Turville, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Turville
Common problems we fix in Turville
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Staff short of time to wash filters
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Turville, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Comparing quotes
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Turville, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit since a gap is a route for grease.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Grease, kitchens and Turville
Food hygiene inspections in Turville are the job of Buckinghamshire council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Turville sits within the area of 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.
For schools such as Ibstone CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Historic houses near Turville, such as Stonor Park about 2 miles south-west, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Turville
Do you work overnight in Turville?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Turville during the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Turville, the Food Standards Agency lists about 2 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
