- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system

Grease filter exchange in Becontree Heath
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have missing filters in the filter bank and grease left in baffles after washing, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Becontree Heath is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Becontree Heath
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters cannot hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. In Becontree Heath, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
