- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.
About our grease filter exchange in Ivybridge
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Ivybridge, from a single canopy to several. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. Common call-outs are for grease left in baffles after washing and grease dripping from the canopy, across restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
In a London area like Ivybridge, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Ivybridge?
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Richmond House is about 1.1 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.

Grease filter exchange in Ivybridge: the local picture
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 52 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 7 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around Ivybridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Kitchens in Ivybridge get their food hygiene inspections from Hounslow council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Before-and-after photos from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand. The fire and rescue service for Ivybridge is London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel.
A kitchen near Twickenham station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. A hospital like South Middlesex Hospital, about less than half a mile south-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

Part by part
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
What happens if it’s left?
In Ivybridge, as everywhere, a filter service isn’t a substitute for TR19 cleaning. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Planning ahead in Ivybridge lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

FAQs for Ivybridge
Which environmental health team covers Ivybridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Ivybridge are carried out by Hounslow council. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Do you work overnight in Ivybridge?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote, normally within one working day.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How often should grease filters be changed?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long, and we can change it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.

- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

How it 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. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Ivybridge is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- 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.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
