What grease filter exchange looks like in Blendon
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 59 pubs, bars and clubs and about 5 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Blendon, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Food hygiene inspections in Blendon are the job of Bexley council’s environmental health team. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. The fire and rescue service for Blendon 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.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Bexley Hospital is the nearest hospital to Blendon, about 0.8 miles north-east. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St James the Great or elsewhere in Blendon, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A kitchen near Albany Park station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Blendon
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 and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you have bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and grease collecting in the filter channels, we can put it right.
Kitchens in Blendon, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Blendon.
- 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.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Blendon
Which council inspects kitchens in Blendon?
The local authority for Blendon is Bexley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can the work in Blendon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for a typical site it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We will confirm it with the quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. Planning ahead in Blendon lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
