Your questions about grease filter exchange in Brasted
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Brasted?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Brasted. 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.
Can you come to Brasted after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Brasted can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, that is an option. We’ll check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Grease filter exchange in Brasted, done properly
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are a canopy that drips grease and damaged filters letting grease past.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Brasted, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters though normally at a gentler pace.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Why it’s worth doing now in Brasted
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. It’s better booked as a planned job in Brasted than handled as an emergency.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes less than an hour in most kitchens. If your building in Brasted has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

What else we do in Brasted
Staff cleaning versus 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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Don’t refit a filter that’s bent
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brasted
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Brasted
The FSA’s data shows about 11 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brasted. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Brasted falls to 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 in Brasted get their food hygiene inspections from Sevenoaks council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Tandridge Priory (about 3.8 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Brasted (Quebec House is about 1.5 miles south-west), fitting access panels needs care. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Combe Bank School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
