When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bromley
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Bromley, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have grease filters clogged with grease and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help.
For a kitchen in or near Bromley, the visit is planned around opening hours and the journey, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Bromley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bromley?
Food hygiene inspections in Bromley are carried out by East Hertfordshire council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Will you come out to Bromley?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bromley included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. The rest of the system still collects grease at the right interval.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. The ductwork then loads up faster and grease readings can rise between cleans. A planned visit to Bromley is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange in Bromley: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records include about 4 bars, pubs and nightclubs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bromley. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Bromley is Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Food hygiene inspections in Bromley are the job of East Hertfordshire council’s environmental health team. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Herts and Essex Hospital is the nearest hospital to Bromley, about 5.2 miles east. Older buildings often hide long, awkward duct runs, and if you run a kitchen at a historic venue in the area (Much Hadham Palace is about 1.4 miles south-east), access may need planning.
Bromley is about 4 miles west of Bishop's Stortford, in Hertfordshire. Anywhere in SG11, we can carry out grease filter exchange at your premises. 381 places in Hertfordshire are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots. Chelmsford is in our area too, about 21 miles from Bromley.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Helping us quote

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bromley.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At every visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.
