About our grease filter exchange in Runfold
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers mesh filters, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow through the filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly.
Work in a small place like Runfold starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.

Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Runfold falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Runfold and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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. Somewhere like Runfold, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Common problems we fix in Runfold
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near The Church of the Good Shepherd, or anywhere in Runfold, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
