Grease, kitchens and Hurst Green
Food Standards Agency records include about 12 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hurst Green. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. It’s Tandridge council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hurst Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Hurst Green falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Where a hall near St Agatha's Hall, or anywhere in Hurst Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. A kitchen near Hurst Green station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Hurst Green Infant School or anywhere near Hurst Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Hurst Green
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. 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 a greasy plenum behind the filters and staff short of time to wash filters, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Hurst Green, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Hurst Green
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Hurst Green?
That’s 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 a school canteen extract in Hurst Green be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Hurst Green, the Food Standards Agency lists about 5 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we will confirm it on site.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a small place like Hurst Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Advice
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Hurst Green and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In a place like Hurst Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
