- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Always run the extract while cooking
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Shillinglee can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Shillinglee
Which environmental health team covers Shillinglee?
The local authority for Shillinglee is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Shillinglee?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
An exchange does not take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted

What happens if it’s left?
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
