Grease Filter Exchange in Wroxton
Grease filter exchange in Wroxton from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- Filter washing that keeps being missed
How we handle grease filter exchange in Wroxton
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you have a canopy that drips grease and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Somewhere as small as Wroxton, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Common questions in Wroxton
Is Wroxton within the area you cover?
Yes. Wroxton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Wroxton outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Wroxton knowing what to expect.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work

Advice
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Wroxton
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wroxton (Broughton Castle is about 2.3 miles south), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before you book
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a survey comes first
- What paperwork you get at the end
Kitchen extracts in Wroxton
The FSA’s data shows about 3 pubs, bars and clubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wroxton. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Wroxton is covered by Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Wroxton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Cherwell council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Wroxton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wroxton is Horton General Hospital, about 2.9 miles south-east.

How we price grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
