Grease filter exchange in Walton Manor

Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. We are often asked to deal with bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, across baffle filters, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.

In a smaller place like Walton Manor, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.

The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, 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 affects the cost of grease filter exchange

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • One-off work versus a regular cycle
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The condition we find in the survey

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What we need to know

We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The site address and the type of premises

To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Grease, kitchens and Walton Manor

Food Standards Agency records include about 84 pubs, bars and clubs and about 18 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Walton Manor. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Walton Manor. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Oxford City council inspect food businesses in Walton Manor. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.

Commuter trade near Oxford station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Holywell Manor is about 1 mile south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Acland Hospital about under half a mile south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Common questions in Walton Manor

Do you work at weekends in Walton Manor?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Walton Manor needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.

Can you get to a site in Walton Manor?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Walton Manor included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.

What’s TR19?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Can you give a price for filter changes?

The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for a fixed quote, typically within one working day.

Part by part

Baffle filters

A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.

The plenum

With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.

For landlords and multi-site operators

Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A site near Walton Manor normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.

  1. We record the number, size and type of your filters.
  2. We set the interval with you.
  3. On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
  4. Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
  5. The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Keeping the system healthy

Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:

  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
  • Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
  • Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day

Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.

Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
