How we handle grease filter exchange in Walton-on-Thames
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers wall canopies, mesh filters and island canopies, and people most often call us about grease left in baffles after washing and filter washing that keeps being missed.
Most kitchens in a town like Walton-on-Thames cannot close for a day, so the work is done after service, overnight or on a closed day. By the next service, the kitchen is ready to cook in again.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Common questions in Walton-on-Thames
Do you work overnight in Walton-on-Thames?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Walton-on-Thames can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Walton-on-Thames during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. There are about 6 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Walton-on-Thames. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, that is an option. We will check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
What is 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.
What happens to the dirty filters?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Walton-on-Thames?
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Grease filters clogged with grease
Where a hall near St John, or anywhere in Walton-on-Thames, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What insurance they carry
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to 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.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. In a town like Walton-on-Thames, we normally work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
