Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Dawesgreen
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. We’re often asked to deal with hand-washed filters that still look greasy and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, across baffle filters, island canopies and mesh filters.
For a kitchen in or near Dawesgreen, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Dawesgreen
We cover Dawesgreen, about 21 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Dawesgreen sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Dawesgreen, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like East Surrey Hospital about 4 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dawesgreen
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. If the system at a site near Dawesgreen fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Somewhere like Dawesgreen, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Dawesgreen: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Dawesgreen?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can the work in Dawesgreen be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Dawesgreen does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
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, so it does not spread.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How often should grease filters be changed?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff don’t have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
What affects the quote in Dawesgreen
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
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. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
