Grease filter exchange in Hookwood
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you have drips falling from the filters onto equipment and weak extraction at the canopy, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Hookwood, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Hookwood?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Hookwood, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Hookwood can be planned properly.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Hookwood: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Hookwood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Hookwood?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Hookwood can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
That depends on the amount of work, but for a typical site it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
What affects the quote in Hookwood
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- 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 will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
What grease filter exchange looks like in Hookwood
Food Standards Agency records list about 58 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 17 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hookwood. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Hookwood sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Environmental health officers from Mole Valley council inspect food businesses in Hookwood. 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.
A hospital like Langley Green Hospital, about 2.6 miles south, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Manorfield Primary and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Hookwood is about 1 mile south-west of Horley, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Hookwood or further out, we cover grease filter exchange for every kind of premises, from small sites to large estates. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Hookwood is one of them. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 18 miles away.

Landmarks near Hookwood
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Black Horse pub and Oakwood School, among other places. Hookwood’s nearest station is Horley station, roughly 1.2 miles east. Other landmarks nearby include Crawley Museum (3.5 miles south) and Langley Green Hospital (2.6 miles south).
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hookwood
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens if it’s left?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A planned visit to Hookwood is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
