Why act early in Hampton Hill
In Hampton Hill, as everywhere, a filter service is not a substitute for TR19 cleaning. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

How we handle grease filter exchange in Hampton Hill
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Fresh filters help limit what gets into the ductwork, but some grease still passes through as vapour. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have smoke and heat lingering under the hood and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can put it right.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Hampton Hill is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Hampton Hill
Washing filters by hand doesn’t always get them clean. Grease hides in the folds of a baffle or the layers of a mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hampton Hill Junior School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Hampton Hill
There are about 110 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 19 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hampton Hill, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. London Fire Brigade covers Hampton Hill. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Hampton Hill United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Hampton Hill, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Teddington Memorial Hospital about 0.6 miles east, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

Questions from Hampton Hill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hampton Hill?
That’s Richmond-Upon-Thames council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hampton Hill. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Can you work in Hampton Hill outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hampton Hill can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. We will give you a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged since a poor fit lets grease past.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than lighter ones. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs 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, alongside our reports.
Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen and need frequent attention.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Visits can be planned around holidays and quieter periods so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Hampton Hill.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- 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.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
