Grease filter exchange in Wanborough, done properly
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you have gaps where filters have been removed and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right, from baffle filters, wall canopies and mesh filters onwards.
Work in a small place like Wanborough starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean covers the whole system, as it would anywhere: canopy, filters, duct, fan and discharge, with a certificate and photo report at the end.
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, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Wanborough
Do you work in villages like Wanborough?
Yes, Wanborough is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Wanborough?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Wanborough. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
How long will you be on site?
On site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Larger systems naturally take longer, and the quote will say how long.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

What else we do in Wanborough
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Wanborough?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Commuter trade near Wanborough station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. If it’s bent or greasy, filters won’t seat properly.
The plenum
A greasy plenum is a sign filters have been left too long or that the next TR19 clean is due.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
How we price grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Wanborough, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
