Grease filter exchange in Egham Wick, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Egham Wick on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and weak extraction at the canopy.
Work in a small place like Egham Wick starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Egham Wick
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Egham Wick: your questions answered
Can you work in Egham Wick outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Egham Wick can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Egham Wick?
Yes. Egham Wick is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Egham Wick knowing what to expect.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Related advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Grease, kitchens and Egham Wick
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 10 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Egham Wick. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Egham Wick are the job of Runnymede council’s environmental health team. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Egham Wick is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Frogmore House is about 3.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School or anywhere near Egham Wick, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.
Egham Wick is about 2 miles west of Egham, in Surrey.

When to call us in Egham Wick
Kitchens in Egham Wick, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Where a hall near Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude, or anywhere in Egham Wick, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When the next visit should be, and why
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
