- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Grease filter exchange in Bexleyheath
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you are dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can help, from island canopies, restaurants and pubs and wall canopies onwards.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Bexleyheath, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Bexleyheath
Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Kitchen extracts in Bexleyheath
The Food Standards Agency lists about 58 pubs and bars and about 4 hotels and guest houses as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Bexleyheath. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Bexleyheath is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you run a café or takeaway near Bexleyheath station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hospital like Bexley Hospital, about under half a mile west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Upland Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Bexleyheath needs from us.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bexleyheath
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bexleyheath
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Bexleyheath in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 32 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Bexleyheath. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bexleyheath?
The local authority for Bexleyheath is Bexley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Have your latest TR19® certificate and photo report to hand, as an officer may ask how the extract is maintained.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Where do the greasy filters go?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning and your staff don’t have to deal with them. Clean filters go straight in.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones on the visit.
