Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Coombe Hill
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you have a greasy plenum behind the filters and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Coombe Hill, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Coombe Hill saves time on the night.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

Coombe Hill: your questions answered
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Coombe Hill during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Around Coombe Hill, the Food Standards Agency lists about 9 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What do you need to know about parking in Coombe Hill?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Coombe Hill
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Pembroke Lodge is about 1.5 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether the price is fixed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. 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 need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Grease filter exchange in Coombe Hill: the local picture
Look up Coombe Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Coombe Hill and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Coombe Hill. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
A hospital like Kingston Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. For schools such as Robin Hood Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
