- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
There’s no waiting: the canopy is ready as soon as the clean set is fitted. The dirty set leaves with us to be cleaned.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in East Stourmouth
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork though vapour still carries some grease past them. That’s why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you’re dealing with filters that come out of the sink still dirty and grease dripping from the canopy, we can put it right.
In a small place like East Stourmouth, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

East Stourmouth questions
Do you work at weekends in East Stourmouth?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover smaller places like East Stourmouth?
Yes. East Stourmouth is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Baffle filters and mesh filters. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters clog early, the interval needs shortening and we’ll adjust it.
What we’re called out for in East Stourmouth
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog and airflow falls away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Blocked baffle filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
Church and community hall kitchens, near All Saints Church or anywhere around East Stourmouth, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like East Stourmouth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
