About our grease filter exchange in Mayes Green
In Mayes Green, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. We’re often asked to deal with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and weak extraction at the canopy, across mesh filters, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
For a kitchen in or near Mayes Green, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Mayes Green
Who inspects food businesses in Mayes Green?
Kitchens in Mayes Green are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Do you work in villages like Mayes Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mayes Green included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Different parts, different methods
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
What a clean won’t put right
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A noisy or failed extract fan
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Mayes Green
Mayes Green is about 28 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mayes Green. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Mayes Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.
Mayes Green is about 6 miles north-west of Horsham, in Surrey. Wherever you are in the RH5 postcode area, we can take on grease filter exchange.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Make sure no filter is left out
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.

What else we do in Mayes Green
Do you need grease filter exchange in Mayes Green?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Blocked baffle filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Horsham Hospital about 6 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Mayes Green
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Mayes Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
