Different parts, different methods
Mesh filters
Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Grease filter exchange in Haverstock
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Haverstock on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you have gaps where filters have been removed and staff short of time to wash filters, we can put it right.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Haverstock, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Haverstock
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 can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Haverstock and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due, and we can arrange it.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Grease filter exchange around Haverstock
Food Standards Agency records list about 749 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 325 sandwich bars and takeaways across Haverstock and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. Kitchens in Haverstock get their food hygiene inspections from Camden council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Haverstock, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Wellington Hospital (about 0.9 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands. For kitchens close to South Hampstead station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Haverstock is about 1 mile south-east of Hampstead, in Greater London. Every kind of commercial site in Haverstock, we can take on grease filter exchange. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so the site keeps running. Haverstock is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for grease filter exchange.

Why act early in Haverstock
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Haverstock: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Haverstock?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Haverstock. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Haverstock?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Haverstock makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is Haverstock in your area?
Yes. We cover Haverstock and the rest of Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
It depends on the number and type of filters and how often they’re changed. We will send you a fixed quote once we know your canopies.
What grease filter exchange cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Haverstock.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- 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.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
