Your questions about grease filter exchange in Brooklands
Do you work at weekends in Brooklands?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Brooklands can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Brooklands during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Brooklands, the Food Standards Agency lists about 7 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why when we find them.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Grease filter exchange in Brooklands
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease building up behind the canopy filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
In a smaller place like Brooklands, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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.

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
What affects the quote in Brooklands
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Common problems we fix in Brooklands
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease dripping from the canopy
If you run a café or takeaway near Weybridge station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Grease filter exchange in Brooklands: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 18 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Brooklands. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Kitchens in Brooklands get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Brooklands sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital is the nearest hospital to Brooklands, about 2.7 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Charles Borromeo or anywhere around Brooklands, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.

Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
