Grease filter exchange in Clapham Park
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. If you have filter washing that keeps being missed and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, we can put it right, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Clapham Park is normally done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. In a London area like Clapham Park, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
Related advice
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. 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 keeps everything on track.
Why deal with it now?
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

What else we do in Clapham Park
Clapham Park kitchens: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 672 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 225 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Clapham Park. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. London Fire Brigade covers Clapham Park. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
A hospital like St James' Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of the Holy Spirit or anywhere around Clapham Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Clapham Park is about 1 mile south-west of Stockwell, in Greater London.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
What the work involves, part by part
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Questions from Clapham Park
How do you handle parking and loading in Clapham Park?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Clapham Park, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Clapham Park?
Clapham Park is in the area of London Fire Brigade. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How often should grease filters be changed?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you work in Clapham Park?
Yes. Our technicians work in Clapham Park, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and plan the exchange around them.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
When to call us in Clapham Park
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh and a sink wash rarely reaches it.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Glenbrook Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Multi-site and managed buildings
