Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Greywell

In Greywell, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have staff short of time to wash filters and gaps where filters have been removed, we can help, from island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.

In a small place like Greywell, 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 report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Greywell

Do you work at weekends in Greywell?

Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Greywell can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Greywell?

The local authority for Greywell is Hart council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.

What types of premises do you cover?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

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.

How do you protect the area?

Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.

Are you insured?

Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.

Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?

Yes, that is an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.

What happens if it’s left?

Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • How big the system is
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Part by part

Mesh filters

Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.

School, care home and staff kitchens

For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.

How it works

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Visits to a village like Greywell are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
  2. We set the interval with you.
  3. The dirty set is lifted out.
  4. Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
  5. We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
  • Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

How to get a quote

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

When something else is needed

A few issues sit outside what this work can do:

  • A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
  • Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
  • Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Grease filter exchange around Greywell

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 6 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Greywell. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Food hygiene inspections in Greywell are the job of Hart council’s environmental health team. 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. Greywell is covered by Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Fleet Community Hospital about 5.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Robert May's School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Greywell?

Wherever you are, Greywell included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.

The symptoms we’re asked about most include:

  • A canopy running with filters missing
  • Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
  • Damaged filters letting grease past
  • Staff short of time to wash filters

Where a hall near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Greywell, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
