Grease filter exchange in Wisley, done properly
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. Typical jobs include a canopy running with filters missing and grease filters clogged with grease, across restaurants and pubs, island canopies and school and hospital kitchens.
In a small place like Wisley, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extracts in Wisley
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 4 pubs, bars and clubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wisley. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers Wisley. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Wisley. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School for example, are typically cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Wisley is Woking Community Hospital, about 3.5 miles west.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. In a small place like Wisley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

FAQs for Wisley
Do you cover smaller places like Wisley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can a school canteen extract in Wisley be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 4 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Wisley. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A change takes less than an hour in most kitchens, so disruption is small. We will fit it around your service wherever possible.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the first visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
What we are called out for in Wisley
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up until the air can barely get through.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Wisley (Byfleet Manor is about 0.8 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Always run the extract while cooking
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
