One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Grease filter exchange in Farncombe, done properly
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Farncombe on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have damaged filters letting grease past and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can help, from wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and island canopies onwards.
Kitchens around a place like Farncombe are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Long horizontal runs like that hold grease and need access panels to reach.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Farncombe
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Evangelist Church or elsewhere in Farncombe, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Your opening hours decide when we come to Farncombe, not ours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Related advice
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Farncombe questions
Do you work in villages like Farncombe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Farncombe is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Farncombe?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Farncombe. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
There’s no single answer. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
Grease, kitchens and Farncombe
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 15 pubs and bars within about 1.5 miles of central Farncombe. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Farncombe is covered by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Food hygiene inspections in Farncombe are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Farncombe Church of England Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. A hospital like Milford Hospital, about 2.2 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
