Grease filter exchange in Stroud Common
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork and they do it best when they’re clean. Our grease filter exchange service swaps dirty filters for clean ones on a schedule. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and damaged filters letting grease past, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stroud Common affects everyone who depends on it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Stroud Common
It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stroud Common. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. About 29 miles out from central London, Stroud Common is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church or anywhere around Stroud Common, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Chilworth Manor is about 3.1 miles north), access may need planning.

How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Stroud Common and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stroud Common before we set off.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Questions from Stroud Common
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stroud Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Stroud Common are carried out by Waverley council. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
Can the work in Stroud Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Stroud Common can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
