How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Hurlingham.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Preparing for the visit

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Hurlingham
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system, but only while they’re reasonably clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. We’re often asked to deal with a canopy that drips grease and filters so greasy the air can barely pass, across mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Hurlingham, that typically means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease deep in the extract system
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

Kitchen extracts in Hurlingham
Food Standards Agency records include about 100 pubs, bars and clubs and about 38 hotels and B&Bs within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Hurlingham. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. London Fire Brigade covers Hurlingham. 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. It’s Hammersmith and Fulham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hurlingham. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Dionis or elsewhere in Hurlingham, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. Commuter trade near Imperial Wharf station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Sulivan Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

What the work involves, part by part

Mesh filters are still found in many canopies. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
FAQs for Hurlingham

Yes, holiday work suits schools best. Around Hurlingham, the Food Standards Agency lists about 58 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Booking early in the term gives the best choice of holiday dates.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Hurlingham?
Hurlingham is in the area of London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.

Is Hurlingham in your area?

What if some of our filters are damaged?

Do you take the used filters away?

Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.

What else we do in Hurlingham
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to match.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. Few maintenance jobs are as easy, and one of the easiest to let slip. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
