What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Expect the work in Stonebridge Park to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We count and measure the filters in every canopy.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- Each visit starts with the used filters being removed.
- Clean filters go straight back in, seated properly with no gaps.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.

- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Stonebridge Park
In Stonebridge Park, our filter exchange runs on a schedule set by how much the kitchen cooks. The heavier the cooking, the more often filters need changing, lighter ones less. The interval is agreed before the first visit. We are often asked to deal with grease dripping from the canopy and damaged filters letting grease past, across wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
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 Stonebridge Park, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Kitchen extracts in Stonebridge Park
There are about 312 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 295 sandwich bars and takeaways across Stonebridge Park and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. Stonebridge Park sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
A hospital like Neasden Hospital, about 0.6 miles north-east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St Michael the Archangel, or anywhere in Stonebridge Park, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it. For kitchens close to Stonebridge Park station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.
Stonebridge Park is about 1 mile north-west of Harlesden, in Greater London.

Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Stonebridge Park, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. But clean filters do help the system between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is 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. Leave those to us.

Other services in Stonebridge Park
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Watch for grease drips between visits
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Tell us if the menu or opening hours change
- Keep every filter in place during service
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
What the work involves, part by part
The plenum
The plenum is the space behind the filters. It collects whatever grease the filters miss.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
FAQs for Stonebridge Park
Which fire service covers Stonebridge Park?
Fire safety enforcement in Stonebridge Park is handled by London Fire Brigade. 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 work at weekends in Stonebridge Park?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Stonebridge Park doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How long does the visit take?
That depends on the amount of work, but for many sites it takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than lighter ones. We agree the interval with you.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
The common types of grease filter: baffle and mesh. Mention how many canopies you have when you get in touch, or we’ll check on the first visit.
Is Stonebridge Park in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Stonebridge Park included.
What does grease filter exchange cost?
