Grease Filter Exchange in Berry's Green
Grease filter exchange in Berry's Green from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day and tell us if service times change.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Berry's Green
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. They catch grease before it reaches the plenum and ductwork, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and mesh filters, and common reasons people get in touch are grease left in baffles after washing and blocked baffle filters.
Kitchens in Berry's Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. In Berry's Green, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In Berry's Green, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote

Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Berry's Green
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Common questions in Berry's Green
Can you come to Berry's Green after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Berry's Green needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Berry's Green?
That’s London Fire Brigade. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is Berry's Green in your area?
Yes. Berry's Green is part of the area we cover, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at an interval set by risk assessment.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is 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, alongside our reports.
Part by part
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though typically at a gentler pace.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Need a price for grease filter exchange? Please give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us about the site. We’ll explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
