Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Greenford
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and baffle filters, and people most often call us about staff short of time to wash filters and a canopy running with filters missing.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Greenford is usually done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Grease filter exchange in Greenford: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 24 pubs, bars and clubs across Greenford and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in Greenford. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. London Fire Brigade covers Greenford. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Clementine Churchill Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church of the Holy Cross (old Church) or elsewhere in Greenford, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Greenford is about 3 miles north-west of Ealing, in Greater London. We carry out grease filter exchange for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Greenford and the rest of Greater London. Greenford is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for commercial clients. There’s also a page for London, about 11 miles away.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Greenford?
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. Every gap in the filter bank lets grease straight into the plenum and on into the ductwork.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Oldfield Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Greenford saves time on the night.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t refit a filter that is bent
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork until the next TR19 clean.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Greenford and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

Greenford questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Greenford?
That is Ealing council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Greenford. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Is parking a problem for work in Greenford?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A change takes less than an hour in most kitchens, so disruption is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever possible.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
