What grease filter exchange can’t fix

- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease deep in the extract system

Grease filter exchange in Earlsfield
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and a canopy running with filters missing, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Earlsfield is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Earlsfield
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How many systems or sites are involved
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system, and one of the easiest to let slip. In Earlsfield, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Why us?
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

What the work involves, part by part
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
When to call us in Earlsfield
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking, so the right exchange interval varies.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- A canopy that drips grease
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
For schools such as Beatrix Potter Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Common questions in Earlsfield
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Earlsfield during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 20 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Earlsfield, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Do you work overnight in Earlsfield?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Earlsfield can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
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.
What types of filter do you exchange?
We work with both baffle and mesh filters. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Kitchen extracts in Earlsfield
Food Standards Agency records include about 62 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and guest houses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Earlsfield. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Fire safety in Earlsfield falls to London Fire Brigade. 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 isn’t affected.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; St James' Hospital is the nearest hospital to Earlsfield, about 1 mile east. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Divine or elsewhere in Earlsfield, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
