Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Beddington
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. If something looks wrong, we tell you. Typical jobs include missing filters in the filter bank and filter washing that keeps being missed, on island canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Beddington is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
The plenum
Behind the filters sits the plenum, where air gathers before the duct. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Kitchen extracts in Beddington
Food Standards Agency records include about 32 pubs, bars and clubs and about 10 hotels and B&Bs across Beddington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Food hygiene inspections in Beddington are the job of Sutton council’s environmental health team. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Beddington is Croydon University Hospital, about 1.6 miles north-east. Church and community hall kitchens, near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Beddington, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. If you run a café or takeaway near Waddon station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
Beddington is about 2 miles west of Croydon, in Greater London. Whatever kind of site you run in Beddington, grease filter exchange is something we can help with.

Other landmarks nearby include Croydon University Hospital (1.6 miles north-east) and Croydon Airport Visitor Centre (1.2 miles south-east).

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Beddington
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job and grease readings can rise between cleans. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Between visits
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. 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 use the quote form.
Beddington questions
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Beddington out of term?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. Food Standards Agency records list about 41 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of Beddington. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work overnight in Beddington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Beddington can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How it works
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 floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Beddington.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
