Grease filter exchange in Sewardstone, Greater London
Grease filter exchange for Sewardstone, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Grease filter exchange in Sewardstone, done properly
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Once they’re clogged, airflow drops and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. The work covers island canopies, wall canopies and restaurants and pubs, and common reasons people get in touch are hand-washed filters that still look greasy and missing filters in the filter bank.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. For a kitchen in Sewardstone, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Baffle filters
Baffle filters are robust and widely used in commercial canopies. They do not clean themselves, because the grease they collect builds up.
School, care home and staff kitchens
Lighter kitchens can often go longer between changes. The interval is set to fit.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in Sewardstone

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A fan that’s failing or too weak for the system
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Make sure no filter is left out
Your next visit is scheduled before we leave. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to keep up.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set right away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes well under an hour for most canopies, and we clear up before we go. If your building in Sewardstone has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Questions from Sewardstone
Do you work overnight in Sewardstone?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Sewardstone keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which fire service covers Sewardstone?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Sewardstone. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
Yes, that’s an option. We will check your filters first because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you come out in an emergency?
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.
Sewardstone kitchens: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 29 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 14 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Sewardstone. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. Sewardstone sits within the area of 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. Night work suits London kitchens, and roads and loading bays tend to be quieter too.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Sewardstone (Forty Hall is about 2.8 miles west), fitting access panels needs care. Bursars and site managers at schools such as Prince of Wales Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Sewardstone is St Michaels Hospital, about 3.5 miles west.
