Questions from Warren Street
Do you work overnight in Warren Street?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Warren Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Warren Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Warren Street is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We can. Some kitchens prefer their own filters cleaned on a schedule, and others prefer a straight swap. We make sure the canopy is ready for service either way.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you take the used filters away?
The greasy set leaves with us for cleaning, so your staff do not have to wash them. A clean set is fitted in their place.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
No. Filter exchange works between full cleans, not instead of them. TR19® cleaning covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a certificate and photo report.
Grease filter exchange in Warren Street, done properly
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Warren Street, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. If you have filters that leave gaps in the canopy and grease building up behind the canopy filters, we can help.
In a small place like Warren Street, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. We agree access and timings in advance.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Warren Street?
Missing filters are more common than you’d think. A missing filter leaves an open route into the system and on into the ductwork.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A canopy that drips grease
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Weak extraction at the canopy
School kitchens, at schools like The Lenham School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. Somewhere like Warren Street, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

How we price grease filter exchange
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
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 a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.

Leave it or put it right?
For any kitchen in Warren Street, filters can’t stand in for a full TR19 clean. They do help keep the system in better shape between cleans and the canopy and plenum stay cleaner. Planning a trip to Warren Street ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep filter exchange and TR19 cleaning on the same plan
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Never cook with the extract switched off
- Make sure no filter is left out
Your team carries on as normal, without the filter washing. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and let us know of any changes to opening hours.
Dripping filters are a clear sign they’re full. A clean set straight away cuts the grease in the canopy and the plenum may need a clean as well.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
