Grease filter exchange in New Malden
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in New Malden on a schedule that suits their cooking. Busy kitchens need changes more often while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. Typical jobs include grease building up behind the canopy filters and gaps where filters have been removed, on restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
In a London area like New Malden, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we’re happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in New Malden.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

New Malden questions
Which fire service covers New Malden?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for New Malden. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
How do you handle parking and loading in New Malden?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Clean filters help keep grease down, but the ducts and plenum still need cleaning at the right interval.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
Not for long, and we can time it to avoid service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters, so we swap them in one go.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Grease filter exchange in New Malden: the local picture
Look up New Malden on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 142 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 47 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central New Malden. Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading is not affected. New Malden is covered by London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
Church and community hall kitchens, near New Malden Baptist Church or anywhere around New Malden, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in New Malden
Every fry, grill and sauté sends grease-laden vapour upwards. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
A kitchen near New Malden station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
