Grease filter exchange across Tyler's Green

Different parts, different methods

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.

Mesh filters

Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.

Grease filter exchange in Tyler's Green, done properly

Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help.

For a kitchen in or near Tyler's Green, 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, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.

We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When to call us in Tyler's Green

Kitchens in Tyler's Green, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
  • Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
  • A greasy plenum behind the filters
  • A canopy that drips grease

School kitchens, at schools like Godstone Village School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos

Our hiring checklist

When it’s something else

To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:

  • A noisy or failed extract fan
  • Grease deep in the extract system
  • Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on in Tyler's Green

  • School and hospital kitchens
  • Restaurants and pubs
  • Wall canopies
  • Mesh filters
  • Baffle filters
  • Island canopies

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange

We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • The condition of the system
  • The size of the system
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it’s useful to have:

  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.

Tyler's Green kitchens: local notes

Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Tyler's Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Environmental health officers from Tandridge council inspect food businesses in Tyler's Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Fire safety in Tyler's Green falls to Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.

If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Tyler's Green (Titsey Place is about 3.9 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Leave it or put it right?

Some kitchens in Tyler's Green wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. It’s simpler to plan the work at Tyler's Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

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.

What you get with us

  • Full insurance on every job
  • CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
  • Survey first, then a fixed quote
  • One number for every site across the South East and London

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Always run the extract while cooking
  • Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
  • Look out for drips from the canopy
  • Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed

There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.

If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.

Questions from Tyler's Green

Will you come out to Tyler's Green?

Yes. Tyler's Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tyler's Green?

Food hygiene inspections in Tyler's Green are carried out by Tandridge council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?

They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Do you take the used filters away?

We take them away. That is how an exchange works: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.

How much notice do you need?

The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Can you give a price for filter changes?

The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will give you a fixed quote, usually within one working day.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Tyler's Green.

  1. We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
  2. We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
  3. Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
  4. We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
  5. If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.

How to prepare

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Ask for a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
