Grease filter exchange in New Southgate
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans and takes a messy task off your team. The full TR19 clean then gives the system its clean bill of health. If you’re dealing with grease left in baffles after washing and filters left unwashed on busy weeks, we can help.
In a London area like New Southgate, 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, so a regular TR19® clean protects everyone in it.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in New Southgate is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- A clean set is fitted and checked for gaps.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Advice
New Southgate questions
What do you need to know about parking in New Southgate?
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.
Which environmental health team covers New Southgate?
In New Southgate, it’s Enfield council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Ratings are published by the Food Standards Agency, so a clean extract and good records are worth keeping up.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Heavy cooking means more frequent changes than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
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.
Does a filter exchange disrupt service?
A change takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters, so disruption is small. We’ll fit it around your service wherever we can.
Is New Southgate in your area?
Yes. We cover New Southgate and across Greater London, as part of our work across South East England and London. To book, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Kitchen extracts in New Southgate
The FSA’s data shows about 33 pubs and bars registered within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of New Southgate. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Fire safety in New Southgate falls to London Fire Brigade. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in New Southgate, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. School kitchens, at schools like St Paul's CofE Primary School N11 for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What staff can safely do
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 they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that does not capture the vapour properly
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease behind the filters that a swap can’t remove
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
- Restaurants and pubs
What we are called out for in New Southgate
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers, so the right exchange interval varies.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- A canopy that drips grease
Healthcare kitchens, like those at hospitals such as Coppetts Wood Hospital (about 1 mile south-west), often cook for long hours, which puts them in BESA’s heavier-use bands.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Leave it or put it right?
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. For a site in New Southgate, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
