How we handle grease filter exchange in Frensham
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Frensham on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
In a small place like Frensham, 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When to call us in Frensham
Kitchens in Frensham, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Farnham Castle is about 3.6 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

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, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Frensham
Can school kitchens in Frensham be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 3 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Frensham. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can the work in Frensham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Frensham needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Is Frensham in your area?
Yes. Frensham is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will send you a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Grease filter exchange in Frensham: the local picture
Look up Frensham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Frensham. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Frensham sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Frensham get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Chase Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
