Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies, and people most often call us about filters left unwashed on busy weeks and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
In a small place like Grayswood, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.

Common questions in Grayswood
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Grayswood?
Grayswood is in the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. 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 Grayswood after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Grayswood keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you work in Grayswood?
Yes. We work in Grayswood and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We exchange baffle and mesh filters. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
When something else is needed
Grease filter exchange can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. The timing of a visit to Grayswood is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
Grease, kitchens and Grayswood
There are about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Grayswood, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Grayswood. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Grayswood. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Haslemere and District Hospital (about 1.2 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Grayswood
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Different parts, different methods
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long, or that a full clean is due.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Common problems we fix in Grayswood
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near All Saints' Church, or anywhere in Grayswood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
