Grease filter exchange in Ash Green, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about damaged filters letting grease past and grease left in baffles after washing.
For a kitchen in or near Ash Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ash Green kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records include about 8 bars, pubs and nightclubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ash Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Ash Green is covered by Surrey 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. Kitchens in Ash Green get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hospital like Guildford Hospital, about 4.2 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Ash Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.

The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
