What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
About our grease filter exchange in Walliswood
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Walliswood on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you’re dealing with poor airflow through the filters and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can put it right.
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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. We agree the schedule to match.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Walliswood
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
When to call us in Walliswood
Kitchens in Walliswood, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Poor airflow through the filters
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Walliswood, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Walliswood: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Walliswood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Walliswood?
Kitchens in Walliswood are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Most changes take anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, so the impact is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
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.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Walliswood, let us know and we will plan around it.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
