How we handle grease filter exchange in Ewell
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Ewell 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. If you are dealing with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and damaged filters letting grease past, we can help.
Around a town like Ewell, extract cleaning typically means a restaurant, pub, takeaway or the kitchen of a school or care home. Whatever the kitchen, the canopy, filters, duct and fan all collect grease, and each is cleaned to the same TR19® standard.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Ewell
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- A canopy that drips grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Gaps where filters have been removed
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Ewell, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Where we work
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Leave it or put it right?
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. A fresh certificate on file is the best thing to have when someone asks to see your records.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Questions from Ewell
Which fire authority looks after Ewell?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Ewell. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come to Ewell after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Ewell keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
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.

Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kitchens in Ewell get their food hygiene inspections from Epsom and Ewell council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Ewell is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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.

Advice
What affects the quote in Ewell
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
