About our grease filter exchange in Turnham Green
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled right away. Typical jobs include grease dripping from the canopy and staff short of time to wash filters, across school and hospital kitchens, island canopies and baffle filters.
Kitchens in Turnham Green, like many across London, can share a building with flats or offices, with the duct running up through shared risers. Grease in a duct like that is a fire risk to the whole building, not just the kitchen, which is why keeping it clean to TR19® matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why it’s worth doing now in Turnham Green
Some kitchens in Turnham Green wash filters themselves to save the cost of a service, and that can work if it’s done thoroughly and on time. Where it slips, an exchange service takes the job off staff. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Kitchen extracts in Turnham Green
According to Food Standards Agency records, there are about 88 pubs and bars and about 12 hotels, B&Bs and guest houses in Turnham Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A pub or hotel kitchen that cooks every day builds up grease in its extract like any other. It’s Hounslow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Turnham Green. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Most London extract cleaning happens at night, after the last service.
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Turnham Green is Barnes Hospital, about 1.3 miles south. Bursars and site managers at schools such as The William Hogarth Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty.

Common questions in Turnham Green
Does London parking affect a job in Turnham Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Turnham Green, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Which environmental health team covers Turnham Green?
In Turnham Green, it’s Hounslow council that carries out food hygiene inspections. How often a business is inspected depends on the risk rating the council gives it, so it’s worth staying ready all year.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
Most changes take a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, so the impact is small. We’ll fit it around your service wherever we can.
What affects the quote in Turnham Green
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What we are called out for in Turnham Green
Washing filters by hand does not always get them clean. Grease lodges deep in baffles and mesh, and a quick rinse leaves it there.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Poor airflow through the filters
- A canopy that drips grease
- Filters so greasy the air can barely pass
Volunteers running a hall kitchen near St. Nicholas Church, or anywhere in Turnham Green, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.
Before you book anyone
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What records you will receive afterwards

- We record the number, size and type of your filters.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep canopy surfaces wiped down
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. A missing filter leaves a gap for grease so tell us if you need a replacement.
If filters are already dripping, they’re overdue. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy, and it’s worth checking the plenum too.
