Grease filter exchange for sites in Moor Park

What we do, step by step

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In Moor Park, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.

  1. We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
  2. Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
  3. Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
  4. We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
  5. We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Grease filter exchange in Moor Park, done properly

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 wall canopies, baffle filters and school and hospital kitchens, and the jobs we see most are grease building up behind the canopy filters and drips falling from the filters onto equipment.

In a London area like Moor Park, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Different parts, different methods

Mesh filters

Layers of mesh catch grease droplets. In a busy kitchen, mesh soon blocks and need frequent attention.

Busy restaurant and pub kitchens

Kitchens that fry and grill all day load their filters fast. They often need the shortest exchange interval.

Questions from Moor Park

Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Moor Park during the holidays?

Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. Around Moor Park, the Food Standards Agency lists about 14 schools and colleges with registered kitchens within a mile and a half or so. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your term dates and we’ll plan around them.

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Moor Park?

Food hygiene inspections in Moor Park are carried out by Hillingdon council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.

Can you clean our existing filters instead?

Yes. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.

Where do the greasy filters go?

We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff don’t have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.

Are you fully insured?

Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.

What types of filter do you exchange?

We exchange baffle and mesh filters. At the start, we note what your canopies use so every set we bring fits.

Can you set up regular visits?

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.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

When to call us in Moor Park

What a kitchen cooks affects how fast filters clog. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.

Common reasons sites call us include:

  • Grease collecting in the filter channels
  • Weak extraction at the canopy
  • Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
  • Filters left unwashed on busy weeks

Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Mount Vernon Hospital (about 0.7 miles south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.

Before booking anyone

  • Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
  • If they look at the system before pricing
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • What records you’ll receive afterwards

Questions to ask before booking

When it’s something else

Not every problem is solved by grease filter exchange, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:

  • Grease deep in the extract system
  • A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
  • A fan that is failing or too weak for the system

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

  • Wall canopies

  • Island canopies
  • Restaurants and pubs

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Leave it or put it right?

For any kitchen in Moor Park, filters cannot stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

For landlords and multi-site operators

We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

Moor Park kitchens: local notes

The Food Standards Agency lists about 8 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Moor Park. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. London Fire Brigade covers Moor Park. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.

Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Martins School Northwood, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Moor Park, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
