Grease filter exchange in Dunsfold
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have staff short of time to wash filters and filters that leave gaps in the canopy, we can put it right.
In a small place like Dunsfold, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Dunsfold before we set off.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Advice
What we’re called out for in Dunsfold
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.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Where a hall near Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere in Dunsfold, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Dunsfold: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Dunsfold?
Dunsfold is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can you work in Dunsfold outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Part by part
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Grease, kitchens and Dunsfold
In Dunsfold, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. About 33 miles out from central London, Dunsfold is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Milford Hospital (about 4.3 miles north-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What affects the quote in Dunsfold
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
