Common problems we fix in Onslow Village
Long cooking hours in Onslow Village or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
For schools such as Onslow Infant School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How we handle grease filter exchange in Onslow Village
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and people most often call us about hand-washed filters that still look greasy and staff short of time to wash filters.
Size doesn’t change the work: a kitchen in a place like Onslow Village gets the whole system cleaned, canopy to discharge. We plan the visit around your hours, with the journey sorted in advance.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Onslow Village
Do you work overnight in Onslow Village?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Onslow Village needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Onslow Village be done out of term time?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. The FSA’s register shows about 24 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Onslow Village. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will fit the work in.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
Grease filter exchange around Onslow Village
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 42 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 3 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Onslow Village. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Onslow Village. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Onslow Village. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Royal Surrey County Hospital is the nearest hospital to Onslow Village, about 0.5 miles north-west. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in Onslow Village, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What affects the quote in Onslow Village
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Why act early in Onslow Village
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Onslow Village at a time that suits you.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. In a smaller place like Onslow Village, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- 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.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
