Grease filter exchange in Ranmore Common, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you’re dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and a canopy that drips grease, we can put it right.
For a kitchen in or near Ranmore Common, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Kitchen extracts in Ranmore Common
There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Ranmore Common, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. The fire and rescue service for Ranmore Common is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ranmore Common. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
For schools such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. A hospital like Headley Court, about 5.1 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What else we do in Ranmore Common
When to call us in Ranmore Common
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly so changes need to come round sooner.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
Polesden Lacey, about 1.2 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Ranmore Common; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Ranmore Common
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit since a gap is a route for grease.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Ranmore Common questions
Do you work in villages like Ranmore Common?
Yes, Ranmore Common is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which fire service covers Ranmore Common?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. TR19® isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What affects the quote in Ranmore Common
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
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 work begins.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Ranmore Common.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Related advice
Why act early in Ranmore Common
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. A fault that closes a site in a village like Ranmore Common affects everyone who depends on it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
