About our grease filter exchange in Leyton Grange
Grease filters are the first line of defence in a kitchen extract. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. The work covers mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and school and hospital kitchens, and people most often call us about a canopy running with filters missing and filters so greasy the air can barely pass.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Leyton Grange, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Leyton Grange.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- A fan that is failing or too weak for the system
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Always run the extract while cooking
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Changing the interval early stops grease building up unseen behind the canopy.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Leyton Grange
The type of cooking matters. Frying, grilling and chargrilling produce far more grease than steaming or baking so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Blocked baffle filters
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- A canopy running with filters missing
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Leyton Grange, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Part by part
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. An exchange service takes it off the rota.
Leyton Grange: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Leyton Grange?
That’s Waltham Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Leyton Grange. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Which fire authority looks after Leyton Grange?
Leyton Grange is in the area of London Fire Brigade. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
It varies with the type and amount of cooking. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch and we’ll confirm it on site.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
