About our grease filter exchange in Tye Green
Think of filter exchange as routine care for the extract. Between full cleans, it keeps the airflow healthy, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about damaged filters letting grease past and grease filters clogged with grease.
In a small place like Tye Green, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the cost of grease filter exchange
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote

- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Tye Green: your questions answered
Will you come out to Tye Green?
Yes. Tye Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Tye Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
A bent filter leaves a gap for grease. We point them out on the visit and explain what’s needed.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away. That is the point of an exchange: clean filters in, dirty ones out and nothing greasy left on site.
How long does the visit take?
We’ll confirm the time with your quote. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
When to call us in Tye Green
Kitchens in Tye Green, as everywhere, find filter washing slips down the list on busy weeks. It only takes a couple of missed weeks for filters to fill with grease.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
- Filters that come out of the sink still dirty
- Bent or damaged filters that do not sit properly
Healthcare kitchens cannot easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Tye Green is William Julien Courtauld Hospital, about 2.3 miles north-west.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change will not reach
- Grease behind the filters that a swap cannot remove
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Always run the extract while cooking
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy straight away. Always run the extract during cooking so the filters do their job.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.
