Surrey · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Littleton, Surrey
Our technicians work in Littleton on grease filter exchange. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A canopy that drips grease
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
When to call us in Littleton
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Loseley Park is about 0.2 miles west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- What insurance they carry
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
About our grease filter exchange in Littleton
In Littleton, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and a canopy that drips grease, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Other services in Littleton
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens in Littleton wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Littleton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Grease filter exchange around Littleton
Look up Littleton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways across Littleton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Fire safety in Littleton falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Kitchens in Littleton get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
For schools such as Loseley Fields Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Francis or anywhere around Littleton, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Littleton: your questions answered
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Littleton in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 9 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Littleton. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Do you work in villages like Littleton?
Yes, Littleton is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that’s an option. The first step is looking at the filters you have, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What is TR19?
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.

Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What affects the quote in Littleton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Parking and loading at the site
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Always run the extract while cooking
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Littleton run smoothly.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
