Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bowling Alley
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have poor airflow through the filters and blocked baffle filters, we can put it right, from wall canopies, baffle filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Work in a small place like Bowling Alley 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

FAQs for Bowling Alley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bowling Alley?
In Bowling Alley, it’s Hart council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Which fire authority looks after Bowling Alley?
Bowling Alley is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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. Somewhere as small as Bowling Alley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

Grease filter exchange around Bowling Alley
About 38 miles out from central London, Bowling Alley is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Bowling Alley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hart council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Fleet Community Hospital (about 3.2 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 3.1 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Bowling Alley is about 2 miles south-west of Fleet, in Surrey. Every kind of commercial site in Bowling Alley, grease filter exchange is something we can help with.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Never cook with the extract switched off
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
