Holland Park grease filter exchange
We cover Holland Park for grease filter exchange. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Grease collecting in the filter channels
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Grease filter exchange in Holland Park
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you are dealing with grease collecting in the filter channels and bent or damaged filters that don’t sit properly, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Holland Park 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’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. It can be a sign that a full TR19® clean is due and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.
Grease, kitchens and Holland Park
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,362 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 174 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holland Park. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected. Food hygiene inspections in Holland Park are the job of Hammersmith and Fulham council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Kensington Olympia station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St George or elsewhere in Holland Park, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.

How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Expect the work in Holland Park to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

How the job changes from site to site
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
FAQs for Holland Park
Can a school canteen extract in Holland Park be done out of term time?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Holland Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 84 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we will book the visit for when the site is empty.
Can you come to Holland Park after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Holland Park needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
