Weybridge questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weybridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Weybridge are carried out by Elmbridge council. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Which fire service covers Weybridge?
Surrey Fire and Rescue Service is the fire and rescue service for Weybridge. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
On site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we will tell you what to expect.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How we handle grease filter exchange in Weybridge
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about grease collecting in the filter channels and filter washing that keeps being missed.
For a pub, café or restaurant in a town like Weybridge, losing a day’s trade to cleaning is not an option, so cleans are booked after closing, early in the morning or on a quiet day. The kitchen is handed back clean and ready to cook.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Weybridge kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s data shows about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses registered within about 1.5 miles of central Weybridge. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Weybridge sits within the area of Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Environmental health officers from Elmbridge council inspect food businesses in Weybridge. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Weybridge is No. 2 New Zealand General Hospital, about 1.4 miles north-east. Where a hall near United Reform Church, or anywhere in Weybridge, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes well under an hour for most canopies. Sites in a town like Weybridge rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Common problems we fix in Weybridge
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum where it settles out of sight.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
For schools such as St James CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Weybridge

Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy and few are as easy to forget. An inspector or insurer will want to see recent records, so it makes sense to have them ready.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
