What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Peasmarsh knowing what to expect.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Advice
Grease filter exchange in Peasmarsh
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. We’re often asked to deal with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease filters clogged with grease, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
For a kitchen in or near Peasmarsh, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Questions from Peasmarsh
Who is the fire and rescue service for Peasmarsh?
Fire safety enforcement in Peasmarsh is handled by Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can you come to Peasmarsh after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Peasmarsh does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filters can be cleaned on a schedule as well as exchanged. We’ll explain the options when you get in touch.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Is Peasmarsh in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Peasmarsh included.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.

How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Common problems we fix in Peasmarsh
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Farnham Road Hospital about 1.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Grease, kitchens and Peasmarsh
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 5 pubs, bars and clubs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Peasmarsh. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Peasmarsh sits within the area of 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. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Peasmarsh. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael, or anywhere in Peasmarsh, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Broadwater School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
