Grease filter exchange in Martyr's Green, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. Common call-outs are for grease filters clogged with grease and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, across baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies.
In a small place like Martyr's Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Martyr's Green
Which fire service covers Martyr's Green?
Fire safety enforcement in Martyr's Green is handled by 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.
Do you cover smaller places like Martyr's Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange does not take long, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Do you take the used filters away?
We do. Used filters go with us to be cleaned while a clean set goes in.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.

How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Somewhere as small as Martyr's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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 filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- 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 tell us if you need a replacement.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
When to call us in Martyr's Green
Kitchens in Martyr's Green, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Woking Community Hospital (about 5.1 miles west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
