Grease filter exchange in Wonersh
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers baffle filters, island canopies and wall canopies, and the jobs we see most are filter washing that keeps being missed and smoke and heat lingering under the hood.
In a small place like Wonersh, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Why act early in Wonersh
For any kitchen in Wonersh, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans, and that shows when the next clean comes round. A fault that closes a site in a village like Wonersh affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
When to call us in Wonersh
Kitchens in Wonersh, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Wonersh United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Wonersh, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Wonersh
Do you work overnight in Wonersh?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Wonersh keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Wonersh?
That is Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wonersh. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Tell us what you have when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will confirm it on site.

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
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 service starts.

Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Wonersh included.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Wonersh, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How big the system is
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Grease filter exchange around Wonersh
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wonersh. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. In Wonersh, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Wonersh 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.
A hospital like St. Luke’s Hospital, about 2.8 miles north, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
