Canopy filter housings
Filters sit in a housing or channel in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
Baffle filters
A clogged baffle filter restricts airflow. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Motspur Park
Good filters only work when they fit properly. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. If you’re dealing with grease dripping from the canopy and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, we can put it right, from mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Motspur Park is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Motspur Park
Look up Motspur Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 137 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 32 takeaways in Motspur Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Motspur Park. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like St Matthew's CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Church and community hall kitchens, near Christ Church New Malden or anywhere around Motspur Park, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Signs you need grease filter exchange in Motspur Park
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. Damaged filters don’t sit flush, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
A hospital like Atkinson Morley Hospital, about 0.8 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
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.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
Common questions in Motspur Park
What do you need to know about parking in Motspur Park?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Motspur Park during the holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. With about 27 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Motspur Park, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. Send us your term dates when you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll fit the work in.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will explain the options when we quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Motspur Park.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
