Grease filter exchange in Bramley, done properly
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. We are often asked to deal with grease left in baffles after washing and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, across mesh filters, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
In a smaller place like Bramley, many kitchens sit in older buildings or later extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
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 have been trading since 2009.

What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies

Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Bramley, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Booking now means the visit to Bramley is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Bramley?
Kitchens in Bramley, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Where a hall near The Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Bramley, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
Before you book anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether VAT is included
- What records you will receive afterwards
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Common questions in Bramley
Do you work overnight in Bramley?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bramley does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Bramley?
The local authority for Bramley is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning while a clean set goes in.
What else we do in Bramley
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Around Bramley, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Bramley
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Bramley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Kitchens in Bramley get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Bramley is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
Chilworth Manor, about 2.1 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Bramley; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Mount Alvernia Hospital about 2.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
