Grease filter exchange for sites in Hampton

How it works

There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Before any visit in Hampton, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.

  1. First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
  2. Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
  3. On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
  4. Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
  5. Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move anything stored near the system
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Grease filter exchange in Hampton

A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you are dealing with smoke and heat lingering under the hood and drips falling from the filters onto equipment, we can put it right.

Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Hampton, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.

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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Never cook with the extract switched off
  • Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
  • Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
  • Tell us if the menu or opening hours change

Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy right away. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.

Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

Different parts, different methods

Mesh filters

Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.

Baffle filters

Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.

What affects the quote in Hampton

There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The size of the system

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, these details help:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • A few general shots of the system
  • The site address and the type of premises

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.

Questions from Hampton

Is parking a problem for work in Hampton?

Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Hampton, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.

Which council inspects kitchens in Hampton?

The local authority for Hampton is Richmond-Upon-Thames council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.

How much notice should we give?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Do you have a 24/7 line?

Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.

Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?

No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system, with a certificate and photo report.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.

Which accreditations do you hold?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Hampton

According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 21 pubs and bars in Hampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too. London Fire Brigade covers Hampton. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.

School kitchens, at schools like Hampton Infant School and Nursery for example, are normally cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost. A hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital, about 1.5 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. A kitchen near Hampton station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.

For landlords and multi-site operators

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 can quote for the whole system.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

When it’s something else

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A noisy or failed extract fan
  • Grease deep in the extract system
  • An extract that was undersized from the start

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
