In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
About our grease filter exchange in Broom Hill
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Gaps in the filter bank are a direct route into the plenum and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. If you are dealing with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can put it right.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Broom Hill, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. Grease that gets past the filters settles there.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Broom Hill needs from us.
- 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.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Kitchen extracts in Broom Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 110 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 62 sandwich bars and takeaways in Broom Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Fire safety in Broom Hill 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.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broom Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Perry Hall Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Orpington Hospital is the nearest hospital to Broom Hill, about 1.3 miles south.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Broom Hill
Can you work in Broom Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Broom Hill can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Broom Hill?
Kitchens in Broom Hill are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you cover Broom Hill?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Broom Hill included.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We give you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Broom Hill
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Travel, parking and unloading
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens if it’s left?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Broom Hill, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. It’s better booked as a planned job in Broom Hill than handled as an emergency.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Never cook with the extract switched off
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.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
