Advice
Grease filter exchange in Putney Vale
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. The work covers baffle filters, mesh filters and wall canopies, and people most often call us about filter washing that keeps being missed and filters that leave gaps in the canopy.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Putney Vale 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits
Grease filter exchange cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- Odours from the discharge that filters won’t stop
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on in Putney Vale
- School and hospital kitchens
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
- Island canopies
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Look out for drips from the canopy
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. We take the greasy filters with us for cleaning.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
FAQs for Putney Vale
Which fire and rescue service is responsible for Putney Vale?
It’s London Fire Brigade, which covers Putney Vale. A recent cleaning certificate and a note of the next clean date show that grease in the extract is being managed.
Can you work in Putney Vale outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Putney Vale needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
