About our grease filter exchange in Norney
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you are dealing with staff short of time to wash filters and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Norney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are normally 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, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Looking after it afterwards
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Norney
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Norney.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What affects the quote in Norney
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly

Do you need grease filter exchange in Norney?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
