How we handle grease filter exchange in Hampstead Norreys
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 and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you have grease dripping from the canopy and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, we can put it right, from mesh filters, wall canopies and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Hampstead Norreys
Will you come out to Hampstead Norreys?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hampstead Norreys included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Hampstead Norreys?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hampstead Norreys needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How long does grease filter exchange take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but for a typical site it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What affects the quote in Hampstead Norreys
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For grease filter exchange in Hampstead Norreys, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Leave those to us.
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.

What the work involves, part by part
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. They can be on the same exchange schedule as baffle filters.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hampstead Norreys
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Berkshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Filters full of grease are fuel sitting right above the cooking. 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. Somewhere as small as Hampstead Norreys, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Visits to a village like Hampstead Norreys are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
