Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Green Park
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Green Park on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. The work covers wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters, and people most often call us about poor airflow through the filters and gaps where filters have been removed.
In a small place like Green Park, 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.
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 are fully insured.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a small place like Green Park, 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.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. In a small place like Green Park, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Park
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Report a dripping canopy early
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so the filters do their job.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. Changing them now reduces the fuel above the cooking, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
What a clean won’t put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover

What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. Their exchange schedule is typically the tightest.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
