How we handle grease filter exchange in Alfold Crossways
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are damaged filters letting grease past and grease left in baffles after washing.
Work in a small place like Alfold Crossways starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Alfold Crossways questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Alfold Crossways?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Alfold Crossways. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you work at weekends in Alfold Crossways?
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.
How long does the visit take?
On site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you take the used filters away?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: you always have a clean set fitted, with no washing for your team.
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.

What a clean won’t put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
What happens if it’s left?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that is the kind of thing inspectors look for. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Trading since 2009

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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 is where we come in.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Alfold Crossways can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What affects the quote in Alfold Crossways
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
