West Horsley grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for West Horsley, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Blocked baffle filters
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
Grease filter exchange in West Horsley, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. The work covers island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and people most often call us about a canopy that drips grease and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
Around a smaller place like West Horsley, kitchen extracts tend to belong to pubs, cafés, takeaways and school or care home kitchens. A kitchen that cooks fewer hours still builds up grease, so cleaning is planned around how much it cooks and what the readings show.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
West Horsley: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in West Horsley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in West Horsley can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in West Horsley?
Yes, West Horsley is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at an interval set by risk assessment.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we’ll confirm it on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How we price grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
The process
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. Everything the job in West Horsley needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Do you need grease filter exchange in West Horsley?
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Blocked baffle filters
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
A hospital like Woking Community Hospital, about 5.2 miles north-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
