- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Norwood Hill
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers mesh filters, baffle filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about drips falling from the filters onto equipment and staff short of time to wash filters.
Work in a small place like Norwood Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Kitchen extracts in Norwood Hill
Fire safety in Norwood Hill falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Norwood Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Around Norwood Hill, as anywhere, we clean the parts you cannot see as well as the canopy you can.

What we are called out for in Norwood Hill
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Norwood Hill is Langley Green Hospital, about 3.6 miles south-east.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
FAQs for Norwood Hill
Which council inspects kitchens in Norwood Hill?
In Norwood Hill, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Norwood Hill?
That’s 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 Norwood Hill?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Norwood Hill included.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
