Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Streatham Hill
A filter that does not sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps and every filter is checked when we swap them. Damaged filters are flagged so they can be replaced. We’re often asked to deal with grease collecting in the filter channels and smoke and heat lingering under the hood, across mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and wall canopies.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, with extract ducts that can climb several floors to discharge at roof level. In Streatham Hill, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

What else we do in Streatham Hill
How the job changes from site to site
The plenum
With good filters, less grease ends up in the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. Their exchange schedule is usually the tightest.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Streatham Hill is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control

- A canopy that doesn’t capture the vapour properly
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Grease filter exchange in Streatham Hill: the local picture
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 85 pubs and bars and about 7 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Streatham Hill. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. London Fire Brigade covers Streatham Hill. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises. Environmental health officers from Lambeth council inspect food businesses in Streatham Hill. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. A dated certificate in the maintenance file answers the question before it’s asked.
A hospital like Tooting Bec Hospital, about 1.4 miles south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Where a hall near Church of St Margaret, or anywhere in Streatham Hill, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.

Common problems we fix in Streatham Hill
Filters get bent and damaged with handling. A bent filter doesn’t seat properly, leaving gaps for grease to slip through.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- A canopy running with filters missing
Commuter trade near Streatham Hill station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.
