Grease filter exchange in Uffington: the local picture
It’s Vale of White Horse council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Uffington. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Uffington is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Uffington, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Uffington Church of England 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 Uffington is Faringdon Day Hospital, about 4 miles north.

About our grease filter exchange in Uffington
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and grease collecting in the filter channels, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Uffington starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
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.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Uffington and across Oxfordshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.

What else we do in Uffington
What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions in Uffington
Do you cover smaller places like Uffington?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Uffington is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Uffington?
That’s Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

How it works
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. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Uffington knowing what to expect.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
