Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Mesh filters
Grease lodges deep in the layers of a mesh filter, so a quick rinse rarely gets it clean.
About our grease filter exchange in Mildmay
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. Common call-outs are for filter washing that keeps being missed and grease dripping from the canopy, across school and hospital kitchens, wall canopies and mesh filters.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. For a kitchen in Mildmay, that normally means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Mildmay
Is parking a problem for work in Mildmay?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Mildmay, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Which fire authority looks after Mildmay?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Mildmay. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you work in Mildmay?
Yes. We work in Mildmay and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
It doesn’t. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Kitchen extracts in Mildmay
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 145 pubs, bars and clubs and about 15 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses within about 1.5 miles of central Mildmay. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Mildmay is covered by London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. In London, kitchens are typically cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Sutton House, about 1.4 miles east, is one of the historic houses near Mildmay; if you run event catering at a venue like that, cleans can be booked between functions. If you run a café or takeaway near Dalston Kingsland station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.

Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Mildmay
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. For a job in Mildmay, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook straight away. We take the greasy filters with us to be cleaned.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.

What we are called out for in Mildmay
Wherever you are, Mildmay included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for a filter bank to clog.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease left in baffles after washing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Jude and St Paul or elsewhere in Mildmay, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
