How we handle grease filter exchange in Lampton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in Lampton on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. The interval is agreed before the first visit. If you are dealing with weak extraction at the canopy and grease left in baffles after washing, we can help.
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. In Lampton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. 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. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Lampton
How do you handle parking and loading in Lampton?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who is the fire and rescue service for Lampton?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Lampton. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Damaged filters don’t seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
Does a filter exchange replace TR19 cleaning?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes. Cleaning your existing filters is an option, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. Cooking shouldn’t happen with the filters out so the swap is done promptly.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens in Lampton wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
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.
Grease, kitchens and Lampton
Food Standards Agency records include about 31 pubs, bars and clubs and about 11 hotels and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Lampton. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Lampton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Fire safety in Lampton falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order.
Kitchens that cook twelve hours or more a day, as some healthcare kitchens do, fall into BESA’s three-monthly minimum; Hounslow Hospital is the nearest hospital to Lampton, about 0.8 miles south-west. A kitchen near Hounslow station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Lampton is about 2 miles north-west of Twickenham, in Greater London. Lampton gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. Lampton is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work for grease filter exchange. London is in our area too, about 12 miles from Lampton.
Postcode districts we cover here for grease filter exchange: TW3, TW7 and TW5. Streets in the area include York Road, Star Road and Pears Road, all of which we cover for grease filter exchange. If your site is just outside Lampton, we cover Hounslow (1 mile south-east), Spring Grove (1 mile north-east), Osterley (1 mile north-east), Woodlands (1 mile south-east) and Heston (1 mile north-west). Further out, we also cover London (12 miles east), City of Westminster (9 miles east), Marylebone (10 miles east), Kensington (7 miles east), St Pancras (11 miles east) and Shoreditch (13 miles east).
Near you in Lampton
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Moon Under Water pub, Inwood Park and Kingsley Academy, among other places. The closest station to Lampton is Hounslow station, roughly 0.9 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Museum of Army Music (1.4 miles south) and Hounslow Hospital (0.8 miles south-west). The countryside around Lampton includes Long Wood and Garden Lake.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Damaged filters leave gaps in the defence. Replacing them early protects the plenum and ductwork.

What grease filter exchange can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Lampton needs from us.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in Lampton
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up, so it needs more frequent changes.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
Where a hall near St Luke, or anywhere in Lampton, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
