About our grease filter exchange in Roehampton
An exchange visit in Roehampton 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. If you’re dealing with filter washing that keeps being missed and a canopy running with filters missing, we can put it right, from restaurants and pubs, school and hospital kitchens and mesh filters onwards.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in Roehampton is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Roehampton?
Wherever you are, Roehampton included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for a filter bank to clog.
Look out for any of the following:
- Damaged filters letting grease past
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
A kitchen near Barnes station that serves breakfast and dinner can run its extract twelve hours or more, which shortens the cleaning interval.
Before booking anyone
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are a common choice for commercial canopies. They still need regular cleaning, because the grease they collect builds up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. We agree the schedule to match.
FAQs for Roehampton
Which fire authority looks after Roehampton?
That’s London Fire Brigade. It’s worth keeping your fire risk assessment, TR19® certificates and photo reports together, ready to show.
What do you need to know about parking in Roehampton?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
How long does the visit take?
It depends on the size of the system, but for many sites it takes well under an hour for most canopies. We’ll confirm it with the quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange doesn’t take long, and we can come before or after service. There’s no wait between removing and refitting.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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 before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes well under an hour for most canopies. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Roehampton is no exception.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
We tell you if we spot anything in the canopy that needs attention. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward and we can book that in.
Bent or missing filters let grease straight past. Sorting them now keeps grease where it can be caught.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What grease filter exchange looks like in Roehampton
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 41 pubs, bars and clubs and about 3 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Roehampton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook, the canopy, duct and fan collect grease just as a restaurant’s do. Kitchens in Roehampton get their food hygiene inspections from Wandsworth council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A TR19® certificate and photo report after each clean gives you a record to show an inspector. Fire safety in Roehampton falls to London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like Queen Mary's Hospital about under half a mile west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. For schools such as Granard Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is typically booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
