Questions from Lower Farringdon
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Lower Farringdon?
Lower Farringdon is in the area of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
Can the work in Lower Farringdon be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lower Farringdon keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We set a schedule that suits your kitchen.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Grease filter exchange in Lower Farringdon
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. We’re often asked to deal with blocked baffle filters and a greasy plenum behind the filters, across island canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Somewhere as small as Lower Farringdon, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Each still has a canopy and duct that collect grease.
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, trading since 2009.

When to call us in Lower Farringdon
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. Much of it is trapped by the filters, and day by day they load up and airflow falls away.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Alton Community Hospital about 2 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere as small as Lower Farringdon, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What happens if it’s left?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy and grease in the duct can carry a fire further. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. Planning a trip to Lower Farringdon ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
