Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Notting Hill
Filter exchange sits between full TR19® cleans. Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the ducts though vapour still carries some grease past them. That is why the whole system still needs cleaning to TR19 at the right interval. If you have grease collecting in the filter channels and poor airflow through the filters, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
In a London area like Notting Hill, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. A duct fire there can reach parts of the building far from the range, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Notting Hill
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Church and community hall kitchens, near St John's Notting Hill or anywhere around Notting Hill, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. A clean exchange set brings the airflow back.
Canopy filter housings
The filter housing holds each filter at an angle in the canopy. A damaged housing leaves gaps.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Grease filter exchange around Notting Hill
Food Standards Agency records include about 106 pubs and bars and about 146 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Notting Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first. Fire safety in Notting Hill 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.
A kitchen near Shepherds Bush station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval. For schools such as St Clement and St James CofE Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Questions from Notting Hill
Which environmental health team covers Notting Hill?
That is Kensington and Chelsea council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Notting Hill. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
Does London parking affect a job in Notting Hill?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Do you handle baffle and mesh filters?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. We record the sizes and number of filters at the start so the clean set always fits.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do you cover Notting Hill?
Yes. We work in Notting Hill and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We’ll tell you which ones and why when we find them.
How do you protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
