How we handle grease filter exchange in Wentworth
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. If you are dealing with filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can put it right, from island canopies, school and hospital kitchens and baffle filters onwards.
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.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Wentworth can be planned properly.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Kitchen extracts in Wentworth
Food Standards Agency data counts about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Wentworth and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wentworth. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Wentworth sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wentworth (Botleys Mansion is about 3.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Christ Church, or anywhere in Wentworth, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. A hospital like St. Peter's Hospital, about 3.3 miles south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Questions from Wentworth
Can the work in Wentworth be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Wentworth?
Yes. Wentworth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find so they can be replaced.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long does the visit take?
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 about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
In a busy kitchen, filter washing is easy to skip. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
