Grease filter exchange in Earl's Court
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and the jobs we see most are grease building up behind the canopy filters and filters that come out of the sink still dirty.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Earl's Court is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Earl's Court wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- In business since 2009

Grease filter exchange around Earl's Court
The Food Standards Agency lists about 159 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 108 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses in and around Earl's Court, up to about a mile and a half out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. Earl's Court sits within the area of 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near West Brompton station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. A hospital like Princess Beatrice Hospital, about under half a mile south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

FAQs for Earl's Court
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Earl's Court during the holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 97 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Earl's Court. You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the dates the site is empty.
Can you come to Earl's Court after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Earl's Court doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We can. Cleaning your existing filters is an option while others want an exchange. Either way, the canopy isn’t left without filters during service.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we need to know the filters and interval first. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you work in Earl's Court?
Yes. Our technicians work in Earl's Court, within the South East and London area we cover.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
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.
Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
We check that filters sit snugly in the housing at each visit, because gaps let grease through.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Earl's Court
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Common problems we fix in Earl's Court
Long cooking hours in Earl's Court or anywhere else mean more grease on the filters. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
What we are most often called out for:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
For schools such as St Cuthbert with St Matthias CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is normally booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what grease filter exchange will not do:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Expect the work in Earl's Court to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Getting ready for the visit
