Grease filter exchange in Earlswood
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Earlswood, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Earlswood gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
When to call us in Earlswood
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as East Surrey Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.

FAQs for Earlswood
Do you work at weekends in Earlswood?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Earlswood does not have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Earlswood?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: 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.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes well under an hour for most canopies. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Earlswood can typically be finished without a second trip.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
