Common questions in Green Street Green
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Green Street Green?
The local authority for Green Street Green is Bromley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
What do you need to know about parking in Green Street Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Green Street Green makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Visits are short, and can be booked outside service times. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It is not. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Send us details or photos and we will quote quickly.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Green Street Green
In Green Street Green, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you’re dealing with a canopy that drips grease and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help, from school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and wall canopies onwards.
Kitchens in Green Street Green, 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.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease though usually at a gentler pace.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Report a dripping canopy early
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Green Street Green.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Kitchen extracts in Green Street Green
The FSA’s data shows about 10 pubs, bars and clubs registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Green Street Green. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. The fire and rescue service for Green Street Green is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
If you cook for passing trade around Chelsfield station, the extract can be cleaned between your last and first customer. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Green Street Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
