Surrey · Grease filter exchange
Loxhill grease filter exchange
A scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones for commercial sites in Loxhill and across Surrey. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Weak extraction at the canopy
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Grease filter exchange in Loxhill
Across Loxhill, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you have grease left in baffles after washing and poor airflow through the filters, we can help.
Work in a small place like Loxhill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, which makes hand-washing hard work.

Related advice
Do you need grease filter exchange in Loxhill?
Hand-washed filters often come back still greasy. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Loxhill, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Loxhill
Can the work in Loxhill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Loxhill?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Loxhill. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
