Grease filter exchange in Holloway Down, done properly
In Holloway Down, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. We agree the interval with you at the start. The work covers restaurants and pubs, island canopies and wall canopies, and common reasons people get in touch are filters that come out of the sink still dirty and missing filters in the filter bank.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so extract cleaning in Holloway Down is typically done overnight, after the last service. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Holloway Down
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:

- The condition of the system
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Holloway Down.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs for Holloway Down
Is parking a problem for work in Holloway Down?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can you work in Holloway Down outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Holloway Down doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
The cost depends on your filters and the schedule. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for a fixed quote, usually within one working day.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.

What grease filter exchange looks like in Holloway Down
The FSA’s data shows about 48 pubs, bars and clubs and about 15 hotels and B&Bs registered within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Holloway Down. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Holloway Down falls to London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity & St Augustine of Hippo or elsewhere in Holloway Down, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. If you run a café or takeaway near Maryland station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

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. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
