Grease filter exchange in Binscombe
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. We are often asked to deal with grease collecting in the filter channels and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, on wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Binscombe, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Binscombe
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Binscombe questions
Which fire service covers Binscombe?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Binscombe. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you get to a site in Binscombe?
Yes, Binscombe is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
Visits are short, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones when we find them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Binscombe kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within about 1.5 miles of central Binscombe. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Binscombe. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Binscombe. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For kitchens close to Farncombe station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. School kitchens, at schools like Loseley Fields Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

When to call us in Binscombe
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
A hospital like Farnham Road Hospital, about 2.4 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Leave it or put it right?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Binscombe is calmer for everyone.
