Grease filter exchange in Heath Park
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Heath Park on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you’re dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and damaged filters letting grease past, 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. For a kitchen in Heath Park, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters, or that a full clean is due.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.
Questions from Heath Park
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Heath Park?
That is Havering council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Heath Park. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Heath Park?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork, so the full system still needs cleaning to TR19.
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.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
It depends on how much and what the kitchen cooks. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Grease filter exchange around Heath Park
Look up Heath Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 269 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 70 takeaways and sandwich shops across Heath Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Heath Park get their food hygiene inspections from Havering council. A greasy canopy or dripping filters are the sort of thing an inspection can pick up. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Saint Alban Church of England or elsewhere in Heath Park, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Squirrels Heath Infant School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Oldchurch Hospital about 1 mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

How we price grease filter exchange
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
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 explain what it covers.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. In Heath Park, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
Why act early in Heath Park
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Heath Park, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. For a site in Heath Park, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
