How we handle grease filter exchange in Upper Eashing
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, on school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and mesh filters.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Upper Eashing and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Watch for grease drips between visits
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Upper Eashing
There are about 28 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways in and around Upper Eashing, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Eashing are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Upper Eashing. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Loseley Park, about 2.7 miles north-east, is one of the historic houses near Upper Eashing; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Milford Hospital about 1.4 miles south-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Upper Eashing
Who is the fire and rescue service for Upper Eashing?
It’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service, which covers Upper Eashing. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Eashing?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Upper Eashing?
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
For schools such as St Mark and All Saints Church of England Primary, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed

What else we do in Upper Eashing
Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
