Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Lower Common
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can help.
In a small place like Lower Common, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Lower Common questions
Do you work at weekends in Lower Common?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Lower Common?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Lower Common included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How long will you be on site?
The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Bigger or more complicated systems take longer, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we need to know the filters and interval first. We send you a fixed quote before the service starts.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Make sure no filter is left out
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Saturated filters let more grease through. Getting onto a regular exchange now keeps grease out of the plenum and ductwork between full cleans.
Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease is thrown out of the airstream and collects on the baffles.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Lower Common
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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.

Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.

Why deal with it now?
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
