Grease Filter Exchange in Perivale
We cover Perivale for grease filter exchange. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Staff short of time to wash filters
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Poor airflow through the filters
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Grease filter exchange in Perivale
An exchange visit in Perivale doesn’t take long. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers mesh filters, island canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow through the filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Perivale is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What grease filter exchange cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach

When to call us in Perivale
Sometimes a filter is taken out and never put back. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system where it settles out of sight.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Clementine Churchill Hospital about 1.9 miles north, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen.
Before you book anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What happens if it’s left?
Changing filters on schedule costs far less disruption than a blocked extract. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. A booked night’s work in Perivale costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will talk you through it.

Perivale: your questions answered
Do you clean school canteen extracts around Perivale out of term?
Yes. Half-terms and the summer break are the natural time for school work. The FSA’s register shows about 35 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Perivale. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Do you work at weekends in Perivale?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Perivale keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when you get in touch.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. 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.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Grease, kitchens and Perivale
The Food Standards Agency lists about 23 bars, pubs and nightclubs as registered food businesses within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Perivale. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. The fire and rescue service for Perivale is London Fire Brigade. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Where a hall near St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale, or anywhere in Perivale, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Bursars and site managers at schools such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Different parts, different methods
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. We point it out if it needs cleaning.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
Heavy cooking means more grease reaching every part of the system. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Perivale.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
How we price grease filter exchange
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
