About our grease filter exchange in Blindley Heath
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include grease building up behind the canopy filters and grease left in baffles after washing, across wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Blindley Heath?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
What we are most often called out for:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A canopy that drips grease
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Where a hall near Church of St John the Evanglist, or anywhere in Blindley Heath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. For a village or hamlet like Blindley Heath, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Blindley Heath: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Blindley Heath?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Blindley Heath doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Blindley Heath?
Kitchens in Blindley Heath are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Is Blindley Heath in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Blindley Heath included.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work

- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
