Grease Filter Exchange in Titsey
Grease filter exchange for Titsey, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Grease filter exchange in Titsey, done properly
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers baffle filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are staff short of time to wash filters and poor airflow through the filters.
Work in a small place like Titsey starts with a call to agree access and timings, 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 pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop

What we do, step by step
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. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere like Titsey, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Why it’s worth doing now in Titsey
For any kitchen in Titsey, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Titsey rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Photo reports with every job
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We’re fully insured

Grease filter exchange around Titsey
Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways across Titsey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Titsey. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. Kitchens in Titsey get their food hygiene inspections from Tandridge council. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Titsey (Titsey Place is about 0.3 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oxted School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Titsey: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Titsey?
Yes, Titsey is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Titsey be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Titsey can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What we’re called out for in Titsey
Long cooking hours in Titsey or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. A kitchen that cooks all day loads its filters quickly, so it needs more frequent changes.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
Where a hall near Church of St James the Greater, or anywhere in Titsey, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
