Grease Filter Exchange in Fulham
A scheduled grease filter exchange, swapping dirty canopy filters for clean ones for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Fulham. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Damaged filters letting grease past
How we handle grease filter exchange in Fulham
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. The work covers island canopies, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens, and common reasons people get in touch are drips falling from the filters onto equipment and damaged filters letting grease past.
Kitchens in Fulham, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Before any visit in Fulham, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What grease filter exchange looks like in Fulham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 845 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 128 takeaways in and around Fulham, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in Fulham. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as St Johns Walham Green Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Fulham, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Western Hospital about 0.7 miles north-east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A kitchen near West Brompton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
In a baffle filter, the air zigzags through metal baffles. Grease drops out as it does.
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we’ll tell you.
Leave it or put it right?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Fulham, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fulham
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Report a dripping canopy early
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
