Grease Filter Exchange in Greater London

About grease filter exchange in Greater London

In Greater London, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. Common call-outs are for drips falling from the filters onto equipment and filter washing that keeps being missed, on island canopies, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens.

On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.

  1. We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
  2. We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
  3. We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
  4. We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
  5. Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.

How we quote

Grease filter exchange around Greater London

From London, City of Westminster and Marylebone to its smaller places, Greater London has kitchens of every size. Every one gets the same full TR19® clean, from the canopy to the discharge.

We work across London and the South East, and Greater London is part of that area. Every job is surveyed first and quoted at a fixed price, wherever it is in Greater London.

London: Where a hall near St George the Martyr, or anywhere in London, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Charles Dickens Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Keeping the system healthy

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep every filter in place during service
  • Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
  • Always run the extract while cooking
  • Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed

Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and let us know of any changes to opening hours.

Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

What happens if it’s left?

Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans.

What your quote should include

  • What records you’ll receive afterwards
  • Whether a survey comes first
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • When the next visit should be, and why

What we’re called out for in Greater London

Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • Damaged filters letting grease past
  • Grease filters clogged with grease
  • Filter washing that keeps being missed
  • Grease collecting in the filter channels

For landlords and multi-site operators

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.

Common questions in Greater London

What happens if you cannot reach some of it?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

What types of filter do you exchange?

Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.

What if some of our filters are damaged?

Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.

What do you do with what you remove?

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.

How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?

It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.

Can you look after several sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
