Kitchen extracts in Shamley Green
The Food Standards Agency lists about 5 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses across Shamley Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Shamley Green. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In Shamley Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 2.5 miles north), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Shamley Green, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Grease filter exchange in Shamley Green
In Shamley Green, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about smoke and heat lingering under the hood and grease collecting in the filter channels.
In a village or hamlet like Shamley Green, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease, whatever the size of the place.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
Questions from Shamley Green
Which environmental health team covers Shamley Green?
In Shamley Green, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Do you work at weekends in Shamley Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Shamley Green needn’t be disturbed. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Where do the greasy filters go?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies

Do you need grease filter exchange in Shamley Green?
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A canopy running with filters missing
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St. Luke’s Hospital is the nearest hospital to Shamley Green, about 3.9 miles north.
