Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Stroud Green
A filter that doesn’t sit right lets grease straight past. Bent, damaged or missing filters leave gaps, so we check every one at each visit. We point out any that need replacing. Typical jobs include blocked baffle filters and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, across island canopies, baffle filters and wall canopies.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so extract cleaning in Stroud Green is usually done overnight, after the last service. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Think of the report as the 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 and sits alongside the report.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. For a job in Stroud Green, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Advice
What grease filter exchange looks like in Stroud Green
The FSA’s data shows about 68 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and guest houses registered in and around Stroud Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. Fire safety in Stroud Green falls to London Fire Brigade. In most workplaces, including commercial kitchens, it’s the fire and rescue authority that enforces the Fire Safety Order. Overnight is the normal time to clean a London kitchen extract, so trading isn’t affected.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Aidan's Voluntary Controlled Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. If you run catering at a healthcare site, such as a hospital like City of London Maternity Hospital about 0.7 miles south-west, the extract may need cleaning more often than a part-time kitchen. A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Stroud Green, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often.

Do you work overnight in Stroud Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stroud Green keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
Filters that no longer fit properly need replacing. We will tell you which ones and why on the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure no filter is left out
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
The next exchange is already in the diary. If cooking increases, we can change filters more often to match.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Stroud Green
- Restaurants and pubs
- Island canopies
- Wall canopies
- Baffle filters
- School and hospital kitchens
- Mesh filters
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
Every exchange includes a check of how the filters sit, because gaps let grease through.
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stroud Green
Dripping canopies and greasy smells often start with the filters. Left, it ends up on equipment, food areas and staff, which an EHO may well notice. In Stroud Green, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
