Surrey · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Lyne, Surrey
Grease filter exchange for Lyne, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
Grease filter exchange in Lyne, done properly
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can help, from island canopies, mesh filters and baffle filters onwards.
Somewhere as small as Lyne, 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, whatever the size of the place.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Lyne
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Peter's Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lyne, about 0.8 miles south-east.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Lyne.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Kitchen extracts in Lyne
The FSA’s data shows about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered across Lyne and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Lyne. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Lyne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. 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.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Lyne and Longcross CofE Aided Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Lyne, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Lyne questions
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lyne?
Lyne is in the area of 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.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lyne?
In Lyne, it’s Runnymede council that carries out food hygiene inspections. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No, the two work together. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
