Eastcote grease filter exchange
Looking for grease filter exchange in Eastcote? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, then sign off with a report and photos.
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
What happens if it’s left?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. In Eastcote, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Grease filter exchange in Eastcote
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Eastcote, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. If you have weak extraction at the canopy and gaps where filters have been removed, we can put it right, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies onwards.
In a London area like Eastcote, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. 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.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Eastcote is usually out of hours.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Common questions in Eastcote
Can you come to Eastcote after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Eastcote?
Eastcote is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do I get a report after the visit?
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.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.

What else we do in Eastcote
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Kitchen extracts in Eastcote
The FSA’s data shows about 17 bars, pubs and nightclubs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Eastcote. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. Environmental health officers from Hillingdon council inspect food businesses in Eastcote. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Cannon Lane Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Eastcote (Headstone Manor is about 1.7 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care.
