Grease filter exchange in Ewhurst
An exchange visit in Ewhurst doesn’t take long. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. We are often asked to deal with damaged filters letting grease past and grease filters clogged with grease, across island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs.
In a small place like Ewhurst, 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.
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.

What else we do in Ewhurst
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Ewhurst
Wherever you are, Ewhurst included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Where a hall near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in Ewhurst, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They don’t clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Common questions in Ewhurst
Can you come to Ewhurst after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Ewhurst can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which fire authority looks after Ewhurst?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Ewhurst. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll confirm it on site.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Larger systems naturally take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
