Grease filter exchange in Warlingham
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. 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. Typical jobs include filter washing that keeps being missed and hand-washed filters that still look greasy, on baffle filters, mesh filters and school and hospital kitchens.
Kitchens around a place like Warlingham are often in older buildings or single-storey extensions, where the duct may cross a roof void or climb an outside wall. Flat runs collect grease and need proper access to clean.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the canopy clear for exchange visits
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
The canopy looks cleaner and the air moves better from the moment they’re fitted. Always run the extract during cooking so they catch grease as intended.
Saturated filters let more grease through. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner between full cleans.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease deep in the extract system
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- An extract that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Why act early in Warlingham
When filters block, extraction suffers. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier while the fan strains. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
