How we handle grease filter exchange in Copse Hill
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and baffle filters, and the jobs we see most are filter washing that keeps being missed and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.
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 Copse Hill, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What the work involves, part by part
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Copse Hill
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. For a job in Copse Hill, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.

Kitchen extracts in Copse Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 150 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Copse Hill. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. London Fire Brigade covers Copse Hill. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
For kitchens close to Raynes Park station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hollymount School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What we’re called out for in Copse 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.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Atkinson Morley Hospital about under half a mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured

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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Copse Hill
Which fire service covers Copse Hill?

Can school kitchens in Copse Hill be cleaned in the holidays?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. There are about 25 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Copse Hill. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you survey before quoting?

Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.

We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
