How we handle grease filter exchange in Rowledge
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Rowledge on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. We are often asked to deal with staff short of time to wash filters and damaged filters letting grease past, across school and hospital kitchens, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
In a small place like Rowledge, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we’re called out for in Rowledge
Wherever you are, Rowledge included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease left in baffles after washing
Church and community hall kitchens, near Saint James or anywhere around Rowledge, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
When it’s something else
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Rowledge
Can school kitchens in Rowledge be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. With about 3 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Rowledge, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rowledge?
Kitchens in Rowledge are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What does TR19 mean?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Grease, kitchens and Rowledge
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 3 pubs and bars across Rowledge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In Rowledge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. The fire and rescue service for Rowledge 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Rowledge Church of England Controlled Primary School for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Farnham Castle, about 2.6 miles north, is one of the historic houses near Rowledge; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions.

Local landmarks in Rowledge
Around Rowledge, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Underdown nature reserve, Weydon School and The Hare and Hounds pub. The nearest railway station is Bentley (Hampshire) station, roughly 2 miles west of the centre. A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (5.6 miles south) and Museum of Farnham (2.2 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Beacon Hill and Farnham Heath.
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
