Grease filter exchange in Tyburn
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave, so the canopy is never left without filters. If you’re dealing with gaps where filters have been removed and weak extraction at the canopy, we can put it right, from school and hospital kitchens, baffle filters and mesh filters onwards.
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 Tyburn, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The times the site is available
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Tyburn
What do you need to know about parking in Tyburn?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tyburn?
Kitchens in Tyburn are inspected by Westminster council’s environmental health officers. It helps to keep the extract cleaning records with your food safety paperwork, so they’re ready if asked for.
What if some of our filters are damaged?
Each filter is looked at when we exchange. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged, because gaps let grease into the plenum.
How long does the visit take?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
A filter change is quick and can be timed around service. The canopy shouldn’t be used without filters so the swap is done promptly.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from a few minutes to an hour or so, depending on the number of filters. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Tyburn.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- We agree a schedule that suits how much the kitchen cooks.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- Clean, dry filters are fitted in their place, with no gaps left between them.
- Anything we notice, such as bent filters or a dirty plenum, is pointed out.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us where we can park and unload
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Grease filter exchange around Tyburn
The Food Standards Agency lists about 162 pubs and bars and about 247 hotels and B&Bs as registered food businesses within about 1.5 miles of central Tyburn. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. Fire safety in Tyburn falls to London Fire Brigade. 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. London jobs typically start after the last service, with loading and roof access agreed with the building first.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. Volunteers running a hall kitchen near Church of the Annunciation, or anywhere in Tyburn, may not know when the extract was last cleaned, and a grease test settles it.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
Even kitchens with fixed meal times build up grease, though often more slowly.
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tyburn
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Signs you need grease filter exchange in Tyburn
Wherever you are, Tyburn included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
What we are most often called out for:
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tyburn is Fortius Clinic, about 0.5 miles north-east.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A canopy that needs a proper clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which need odour control
- An extract that was undersized from the start
