- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Why act early in Egham Hythe
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Grease filter exchange in Egham Hythe
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you have drips falling from the filters onto equipment and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help, from island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters onwards.
In a smaller place like Egham Hythe, the kitchens with extract systems are more likely to be a pub, a café, a takeaway or a school or care home kitchen than a big restaurant. Quieter kitchens still collect grease in the duct, just more slowly, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Your opening hours decide when we come to Egham Hythe, not ours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What else we do in Egham Hythe
Egham Hythe questions
Can you work in Egham Hythe 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.
Is Egham Hythe within the area you cover?
Yes. Egham Hythe is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How long does the visit take?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
What the work covers

What grease filter exchange looks like in Egham Hythe
The FSA’s data shows about 24 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels and guest houses registered in Egham Hythe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Egham Hythe. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In Egham Hythe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
