Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Crowhurst
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you’re dealing with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can put it right, from baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Crowhurst
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A canopy running with filters missing
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders Clinic (about 3.4 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Advice
What affects the quote in Crowhurst
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters

Grease, kitchens and Crowhurst
It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crowhurst. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. We cover Crowhurst, about 20 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St George or elsewhere in Crowhurst, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Chartwell, about 4.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Crowhurst; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
