How we handle grease filter exchange in Foxbury
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Foxbury, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service, so cooking isn’t interrupted. The work covers mesh filters, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease left in baffles after washing and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Foxbury, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Foxbury
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Foxbury?
That is Bromley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Foxbury. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does London parking affect a job in Foxbury?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Foxbury makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. We’ll check your filters first, as damaged ones may be better replaced.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will show you which ones when we find them.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. If your building in Foxbury has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- School and hospital kitchens

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Grease filter exchange around Foxbury
Food Standards Agency records include about 30 bars, pubs and nightclubs in and around Foxbury, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Food hygiene inspections in Foxbury are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. 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. Foxbury is covered by 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.
For schools such as Chislehurst School for Girls, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Eltham Palace is about 2.6 miles north-west), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Foxbury is Queen Mary's Hospital, about 0.6 miles east.
