How we handle grease filter exchange in Broad Green
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. We point out any that need replacing. We are often asked to deal with bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly and grease dripping from the canopy, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
In a London area like Broad Green, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broad Green
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Kitchen extracts in Broad Green
Look up Broad Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 265 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 219 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Broad Green. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Broad Green sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. In London, kitchens are normally cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Where a hall near Church of St Saviour, or anywhere in Broad Green, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Croydon University Hospital about less than half a mile north-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you cook for passing trade around West Croydon station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.

What affects the quote in Broad Green
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For grease filter exchange in Broad Green, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, and we clear up before we go. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Broad Green.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Related advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
What happens if it’s left?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Questions from Broad Green
Does London parking affect a job in Broad Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Broad Green, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Broad Green in the summer holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 35 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Broad Green. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
