If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Grease filter exchange in Notting Dale
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and blocked baffle filters, we can help.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Notting Dale is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When it’s something else

- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Smell complaints that need odour control equipment
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on in Notting Dale
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Island canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
Notting Dale questions
Is parking a problem for work in Notting Dale?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Notting Dale, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can a school canteen extract in Notting Dale be done out of term time?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. There are about 86 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Notting Dale. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your term dates and we will plan around them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How often should grease filters be changed?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is Notting Dale in your area?
Yes. Notting Dale is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Pricing depends on the kitchen, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Notting Dale.

- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- 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
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Do you need grease filter exchange in Notting Dale?
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly and grease passes round them.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
For schools such as Thomas Jones Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Comparing quotes

- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it still needs cleaning as part of TR19.
Canopy filter housings
Grease collects in the channels and drip trays below the filters. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
