The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, 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. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Isleworth needs from us.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Grease filter exchange in Isleworth
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Isleworth on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. Typical jobs include filter washing that keeps being missed and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters.
Kitchens in Isleworth, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.

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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
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.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Isleworth and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Grease, kitchens and Isleworth
Food Standards Agency data counts about 437 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 107 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Isleworth. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. Isleworth is covered by 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.
A hospital like West Middlesex University Hospital, about less than half a mile north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. If you run a café or takeaway near Isleworth station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

When to call us in Isleworth
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
For schools such as St Mary's Catholic Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

FAQs for Isleworth
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Isleworth out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. Around Isleworth, the Food Standards Agency lists about 32 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Tell us your holiday dates and we’ll book the visit for when the site is empty.
Which council inspects kitchens in Isleworth?
Food hygiene inspections in Isleworth are carried out by Hounslow council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. We tell you about any that are damaged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It doesn’t. Filters don’t catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do you cover Isleworth?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Isleworth included.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
