The Wrythe grease filter exchange
Grease filter exchange for The Wrythe, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Smoke and heat lingering under the hood
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
Common problems we fix in The Wrythe
Cooking vapour carries grease into the canopy. The filters catch much of it so they gradually clog until the air can barely get through.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Victor Seymour Infants' School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
How we handle grease filter exchange in The Wrythe
Across The Wrythe, our filter exchange suits restaurants, pubs, cafés, schools, care homes and other kitchens, whether there’s one canopy or many. We can come before or after service so nobody has to stop cooking. Typical jobs include drips falling from the filters onto equipment and blocked baffle filters, across island canopies, baffle filters and mesh filters.
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. For a kitchen in The Wrythe, that usually means a longer system to clean and more access panels to plan around.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Kitchen extracts in The Wrythe
The FSA’s food hygiene register includes about 27 bars, pubs and nightclubs in The Wrythe and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Any of them serving cooked food has an extract to keep clean, from canopy to discharge. In The Wrythe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sutton council. 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. London Fire Brigade covers The Wrythe. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract.
Church and community hall kitchens, near Bishop Andrewes Church or anywhere around The Wrythe, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other. For kitchens close to Carshalton station, where the day often starts early and ends late, the extract can be cleaned overnight.

How the job changes from site to site
Mesh filters
Mesh filters use layers of metal mesh to trap grease. They clog quickly in a busy kitchen, so they need changing often.
School, care home and staff kitchens
A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
Fixed quotes for grease filter exchange in The Wrythe
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

How it works
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 well under an hour for most canopies. Before any visit in The Wrythe, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- First, we record the size, type and number of filters in each canopy.
- A change schedule is agreed to match the kitchen’s cooking hours.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract that was undersized from the start
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
