Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in The Heath
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filters left unwashed on busy weeks and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
For a kitchen in or near The Heath, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in The Heath
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
The process
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. The visit takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like The Heath are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in The Heath, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. A fault that closes a site in a village like The Heath affects everyone who depends on it.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what grease filter exchange won’t do:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
When to call us in The Heath
Kitchens in The Heath, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Where a hall near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in The Heath, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Questions from The Heath
Do you work in villages like The Heath?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, The Heath included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in The Heath needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. 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.

What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We’ll give you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
