How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. In a London area like Hounslow West, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

About our grease filter exchange in Hounslow West
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts, 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 missing filters in the filter bank, we can put it right, from island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Hounslow West is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Regular changes help protect the ductwork.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Kitchens that cook for set mealtimes still load their filters, though often more slowly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Grease filter exchange around Hounslow West
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 23 pubs and bars and about 16 hotels and B&Bs in Hounslow West and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Food hygiene inspections in Hounslow West are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. 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. London jobs normally start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Hounslow West, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hounslow Heath Infant and Nursery School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Hounslow Hospital (about 0.7 miles east), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Why deal with it now?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. A booked night’s work in Hounslow West costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Mesh filters
- Wall canopies

Hounslow West questions
Can you work in Hounslow West outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Hounslow West?
That is Hounslow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hounslow West. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
