Grease filter exchange in Cranleigh, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. Common call-outs are for grease left in baffles after washing and poor airflow through the filters, across baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Kitchens around a place like Cranleigh are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Cranleigh
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
If you need grease filter exchange in Cranleigh, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Your opening hours decide when we come to Cranleigh, not ours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why act early in Cranleigh
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. A quieter site near Cranleigh still needs its system looked after.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

Cranleigh: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Cranleigh?
Yes. Cranleigh is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Cranleigh?
That is Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cranleigh. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We’ll give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
