Grease Filter Exchange in Mytchett
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Mytchett, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Weak extraction at the canopy
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Mytchett
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled right away. The work covers baffle filters, wall canopies and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are blocked baffle filters and damaged filters letting grease past.
Around a smaller place like Mytchett, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens if it’s left?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. When a site near Mytchett shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

For a site near Mytchett, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.

Kitchen extracts in Mytchett
Look up Mytchett on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 56 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways across Mytchett and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Mytchett. 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. Food hygiene inspections in Mytchett are the job of Surrey Heath council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Wanborough Manor is about 4.9 miles south-east), access may need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Andrew or anywhere around Mytchett, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. A hospital like Frimley Park Hospital, about 2 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Mytchett and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
