About our grease filter exchange in Hamsey Green
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
Work in a small place like Hamsey Green starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Grease, kitchens and Hamsey Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 13 pubs and bars in and around Hamsey Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Croydon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hamsey Green. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Hamsey Green. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For schools such as Hamsey Green Primary, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Warlingham Park Hospital, about 1.4 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Hamsey Green
Can you come to Hamsey Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hamsey Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will you come out to Hamsey Green?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Hamsey Green is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
It doesn’t. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hamsey Green
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
How the visit works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere as small as Hamsey Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Hamsey Green
Wherever you are, Hamsey Green included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near St Antony or anywhere around Hamsey Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
