About our grease filter exchange in Stonebridge
Whether your canopy has baffle or mesh filters, they load up with grease. Clogged filters choke the airflow and the extract struggles. A steady cycle of clean filters keeps extraction strong. Common call-outs are for filters that come out of the sink still dirty and gaps where filters have been removed, across wall canopies, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies.
Across London, many commercial kitchens are squeezed into basements and narrow back-of-house spaces, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Stonebridge, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease deep in the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Stonebridge: your questions answered
Can the work in Stonebridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stonebridge keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can a school canteen extract in Stonebridge be done out of term time?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. The FSA’s register shows about 37 schools and colleges with food registrations within roughly a mile and a half of Stonebridge. Send us your term dates when you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll fit the work in.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What’s the right interval for changing filters?
There’s no single answer. We look at your cooking and set an interval to match and can change if your kitchen gets busier.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We flag any we find and explain what’s needed.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stonebridge
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
For grease filter exchange in Stonebridge, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. A flare-up on the range can reach them, and from there into the duct. Keeping filters clean takes some of that fuel away. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Where they cook under a canopy, the grease filters are the first line of defence and clog quickly. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
