Grease filter exchange in Colliers Wood
Across Colliers Wood, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies, and the jobs we see most are a canopy running with filters missing and filters left unwashed on busy weeks.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Colliers Wood, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning as the collected grease builds up between the blades.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Colliers Wood?
Kitchens in Colliers Wood, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Grove Hospital (about 0.6 miles north), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes well under an hour for most canopies. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Colliers Wood is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know about parking and loading

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Why act early in Colliers Wood
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Colliers Wood: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Colliers Wood?
That is London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Is parking a problem for work in Colliers Wood?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Colliers Wood, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are 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 can quote for the whole system.
Kitchen extracts in Colliers Wood
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 439 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 88 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Colliers Wood. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. London jobs usually start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. In Colliers Wood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wandsworth council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Sellincourt Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Where a hall near St Nicholas, or anywhere in Colliers Wood, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
