Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Alperton
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you are dealing with filters so greasy the air can barely pass and staff short of time to wash filters, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Alperton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Alperton is typically out of hours.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
How we price grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
There’s no standard 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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Alperton
What do you need to know about parking in Alperton?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Alperton?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Alperton. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What happens to the dirty filters?
Yes. The dirty filters are taken away for cleaning and the clean set stays in the canopy.
Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Kitchen extracts in Alperton
There are about 276 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 207 takeaways across Alperton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Alperton sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St James Church Alperton or elsewhere in Alperton, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Commuter trade near Wembley Central station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
