How we price grease filter exchange
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Grease filter exchange in Mousehill, 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 poor airflow through the filters and staff short of time to wash filters, across wall canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters.
In a village or hamlet like Mousehill, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Leave it or put it right?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. In a place like Mousehill, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why us?
- Trading since 2009

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Mousehill.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

FAQs for Mousehill
Can you get to a site in Mousehill?
Yes, Mousehill is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mousehill?
That is Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mousehill. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

Kitchen extracts in Mousehill
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs across Mousehill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Mousehill. 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. In Mousehill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley 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.
If you cook for passing trade around Milford (Surrey) station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milford Hospital about 1.1 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Mousehill?
What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Milford School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
