Grease filter exchange in Russ Hill
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about grease building up behind the canopy filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
Work in a small place like Russ Hill starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Russ Hill
The Food Standards Agency lists about 4 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Russ Hill. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. The fire and rescue service for Russ Hill 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. In Russ Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Charlwood Village Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Langley Green Hospital is the nearest hospital to Russ Hill, about 2.5 miles south-east. Where a hall near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Russ Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

FAQs for Russ Hill
Which environmental health team covers Russ Hill?
That is Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Russ Hill. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Russ Hill?
That is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Where do the greasy filters go?
They leave with us. That’s how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out, with no washing for your team.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and set up the service around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How we price grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
A kitchen that is getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though typically at a gentler pace.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.
Why act early in Russ Hill
In Russ Hill, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Somewhere as small as Russ Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
