About our grease filter exchange in Keston
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. If you are dealing with a canopy that drips grease and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
Kitchens in Keston, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Odours from the discharge that filters will not stop
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- A noisy or failed extract fan
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Mesh filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
Leave it or put it right?
Clogged filters choke the extract. Heat and fumes hang in the kitchen, and the fan works harder to pull air through. A regular exchange keeps the airflow where it should be. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- We diagnose before we treat

Do you need grease filter exchange in Keston?
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters do not sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
What we are most often called out for:
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Blocked baffle filters
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Keston Parish Church, or anywhere in Keston, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Keston questions
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Keston in the summer holidays?
Yes. The holidays are the usual time for school work. There are about 2 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Keston. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Keston?
Kitchens in Keston are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It does not. Filters do not catch everything, so grease still reaches the ductwork and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Keep every filter in place during service
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
A kitchen that’s getting busier needs its filters changed more often. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up in the ducts.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Keston
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Keston saves time on the night.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Grease filter exchange in Keston: the local picture
Look up Keston on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 15 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops across Keston and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. Kitchens in Keston get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Before-and-after pictures from each clean are a simple way to show the extract is in hand.
If you look after a school kitchen, at a school such as Keston Church of England Primary School or anywhere near Keston, the holidays are the usual time for a TR19® clean. If you run catering at a historic house or estate in the area (Down House is about 2.2 miles south-east), event kitchens in older buildings often have awkward duct runs that need planning.
