Greater London · Grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange in Fortune Green, Greater London
Grease filter exchange in Fortune Green, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Call for a fixed quote.
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
What we are called out for in Fortune Green
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. Damaged filters do not sit flush and grease passes round them.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Luke or elsewhere in Fortune Green, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

About our grease filter exchange in Fortune Green
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Fortune Green on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. Common call-outs are for hand-washed filters that still look greasy and a canopy running with filters missing, across mesh filters, island canopies and baffle filters.
In a London area like Fortune Green, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Fortune Green.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Fortune Green kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 54 pubs and bars and about 17 hotels and B&Bs in Fortune Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In Fortune Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barnet council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Luke's Church of England School or anywhere near Fortune Green, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; New End Hospital is the nearest hospital to Fortune Green, about 0.7 miles east.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fortune Green: your questions answered
Which fire service covers Fortune Green?
That is London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Who inspects food businesses in Fortune Green?
That is Barnet council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fortune Green. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or pictures and we will quote, typically within one working day.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
