Grease filter exchange in Pachesham Park

Grease filter exchange in Pachesham Park

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 wall canopies, mesh filters and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are blocked baffle filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.

Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site

Baffle filters

A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.

Keeping the system healthy

A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:

  • Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
  • Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
  • Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
  • Keep every filter in place during service

Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.

A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.

What your team can do, and what needs us

If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

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.

How the visit works

Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Pachesham Park, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
  2. We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
  3. At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
  4. We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
  5. We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Pachesham Park kitchens: local notes

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 33 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Pachesham Park. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Kitchens in Pachesham Park get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. 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. The fire and rescue service for Pachesham Park is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Epsom Cottage Hospital about 2.2 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. The Homewood, about 3 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses near Pachesham Park; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. School kitchens, at schools like Therfield School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What a clean will not put right

Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:

  • Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
  • A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
  • A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Pachesham Park: your questions answered

Do you work overnight in Pachesham Park?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Will you come out to Pachesham Park?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Pachesham Park included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

What accreditations do you have?

We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Do we need to close while you work?

Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.

Who is the responsible person?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.

How much does a filter exchange service cost?

Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the first visit.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.

For landlords and multi-site operators

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
