How we handle grease filter exchange in Burwood Park
In Burwood Park, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you are dealing with a canopy running with filters missing and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help, from baffle filters, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Somewhere as small as Burwood Park, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burwood Park run smoothly.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
For grease filter exchange in Burwood Park, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Common problems we fix in Burwood Park
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
For schools such as Cleves School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Questions from Burwood Park
Which council inspects kitchens in Burwood Park?
In Burwood Park, it’s Elmbridge 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.
Can school kitchens in Burwood Park be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Around Burwood Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 8 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
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 far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
