About our grease filter exchange in South Kenton
We set up grease filter exchange for kitchens in South Kenton on a schedule that suits their cooking. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing while a lighter kitchen can go longer. We agree the interval with you at the start. If you have a canopy that drips grease and blocked baffle filters, we can help.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In South Kenton, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Common problems we fix in South Kenton
Repeated removal and washing takes its toll on filters. A bent filter does not seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Grease dripping from the canopy
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease left in baffles after washing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Annunciation or elsewhere in South Kenton, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a job in South Kenton, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- We set the interval with you.
- On each visit, we remove the greasy filters.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
Why act early in South Kenton
Some kitchens in South Kenton wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. In South Kenton, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- Full insurance on every job

Common questions in South Kenton
How do you handle parking and loading in South Kenton?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in South Kenton makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Do you work overnight in South Kenton?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is there a cleaning option for the filters we have?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
Can you give a price for filter changes?
Filters, canopies and how often you need visits all affect the price. Tell us what you have and we’ll come back with a fixed quote quickly.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you work in South Kenton?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, South Kenton included.
What affects the quote in South Kenton
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Grease, kitchens and South Kenton
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 31 pubs, bars and clubs and about 8 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in and around South Kenton, up to about a mile and a half out. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service. It’s Brent council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in South Kenton. 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.
School kitchens, at schools like Byron Court Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What else we do in South Kenton
Part by part
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
The more a kitchen cooks, the more grease the filters see. Changing them on time protects the ducts behind.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
