What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Grease filter exchange in Burlington Estate, done properly
Across Burlington Estate, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and restaurants and pubs, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction at the canopy and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
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 Burlington Estate, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Burlington Estate kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3,810 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 374 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Burlington Estate. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. The fire and rescue service for Burlington Estate is London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as St James Workhouse (about under half a mile north-east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. If you cook for passing trade around Bond Street station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer.
Burlington Estate is about 1 mile south-east of City of Westminster, in Greater London.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
When to call us in Burlington Estate
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter does not seat properly and grease passes round them.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Burlington Estate (Burlington House is about 0.1 miles south-east), fitting access panels needs care.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Whether the figure could change on the day
How the job changes from site to site
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Burlington Estate
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Make sure no filter is left out
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Burlington Estate is no exception.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
