When to call us in Witney
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Tower Hill Community Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Witney
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. So the canopy, plenum and ducts still need their full TR19 clean. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease left in baffles after washing and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Witney, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the quote in Witney
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Send us pictures of the system and we can plan most of a visit in Witney before we arrive.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease, kitchens and Witney
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 20 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Witney. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Kitchens in Witney get their food hygiene inspections from West Oxfordshire council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Witney falls to Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Witney Congregational Church, or anywhere in Witney, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Minster Lovell Hall is about 1.9 miles north-west), access may need planning.

Questions from Witney
Can the work in Witney be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Witney can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Witney out of term?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 13 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Witney. You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us with the dates the site is empty.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you work in Witney?
Yes. Our technicians work in Witney, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What accreditations do you have?
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.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Witney
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
