Grease filter exchange in Stroude
Across Stroude, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service so nobody has to stop cooking. The work covers wall canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about staff short of time to wash filters and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
Somewhere as small as Stroude, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Report a dripping canopy early
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Grease filter exchange around Stroude
There are about 49 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways across Stroude and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. The fire and rescue service for Stroude is Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In Stroude, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
For kitchens close to Virginia Water station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Where a hall near Christ Church, or anywhere in Stroude, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Ann's Heath Junior School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. In a small place like Stroude, a system that fails can take a site out of use.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Stroude
Can you work in Stroude outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stroude keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Stroude?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Stroude. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A badly damaged filter should be replaced. We’ll show you which ones on the visit.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so every set we bring fits.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long will you be on site?
That depends on the amount of work, but for many sites it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stroude run smoothly.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
