Our grease filter exchange service in City of London
A filter service works alongside TR19® cleaning, not instead of it. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. The work covers restaurants and pubs, baffle filters and mesh filters, and people most often call us about filters that come out of the sink still dirty and a canopy that drips grease.
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
What affects the price in City of London
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Grease filter exchange across City of London: local notes
Kitchens across City of London cook for very different hours, from all-day town-centre sites to part-time hall and school kitchens. The right interval comes from hours of use and grease readings.
Across England, including City of London, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and each certificate and photo report is a record you can keep in your log book.
City of London: For schools such as Fashion Retail Academy, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Olave Old Jewry or elsewhere in City of London, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though normally at a gentler pace.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’s our job.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens if it’s left?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
City of London questions
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening, and we can change it.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll show you which ones on the visit.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned and your staff do not have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
