Why it’s worth doing now in Seven Kings
Leaving filters too long pushes more grease into the plenum and ducts. That makes the next full clean a bigger job, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. It’s better booked as a planned job in Seven Kings than handled as an emergency.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will talk you through it.

About our grease filter exchange in Seven Kings
Baffle filters and mesh filters both fill with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the fan has to work harder. Regular exchange keeps the air moving. We are often asked to deal with filters left unwashed on busy weeks and blocked baffle filters, across island canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters.
In a London area like Seven Kings, a kitchen extract often passes through shared space on its way out: a riser, a service void, the floors above. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.

What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes less than an hour in most kitchens, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Expect the work in Seven Kings to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Managing agents and facilities teams in Seven Kings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Seven Kings: your questions answered
Can you come to Seven Kings after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Seven Kings doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in Seven Kings in the summer holidays?
Yes, holiday work suits schools best. With about 49 schools and colleges on the FSA’s register within roughly a mile and a half of Seven Kings, it pays to plan holiday dates ahead. You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
Every kitchen is different, so we quote once we know your filters and schedule. You get a fixed price before the service starts.
Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Baffle filters
When baffles fill with grease, less air gets through. Swapping them for a clean set restores it.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Grease, kitchens and Seven Kings
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 16 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 4 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Seven Kings. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. In Seven Kings, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Redbridge council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
Term dates shape school work: for a school like Downshall Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break. Where a hall near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Seven Kings, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. If you run a café or takeaway near Seven Kings station, early starts and late finishes leave little time to clean, so overnight extract cleaning suits.
