How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Nutfield.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Grease filter exchange in Nutfield, done properly
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Nutfield, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service, so cooking is not interrupted. Typical jobs include a canopy that drips grease and grease left in baffles after washing, on baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Nutfield, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos 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.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Nutfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs and bars in and around Nutfield, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in Nutfield falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. In Nutfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. 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.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or anywhere around Nutfield, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you cook for passing trade around Nutfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Nutfield is East Surrey Hospital, about 2.1 miles south-west.

Nutfield questions
Do you work at weekends in Nutfield?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Nutfield can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Nutfield?
That is Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Nutfield. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match, and adjust it if needed.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report a dripping canopy early
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Why act early in Nutfield
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Nutfield, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Every job surveyed first
- One number for every site across the South East and London
