Greater London · Grease filter exchange
Welling grease filter exchange
Professional grease filter exchange in and around Welling, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A canopy running with filters missing
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. In Welling, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- The filters in each canopy are measured and counted.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- We take the greasy set away and confirm the next date.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
How we handle grease filter exchange in Welling
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set and make sure there are no gaps between them. If something looks wrong, we tell you. If you have damaged filters letting grease past and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can put it right, from mesh filters, school and hospital kitchens and island canopies onwards.
London kitchens tend to trade late and open early, so work in Welling is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Before the clean, we agree loading, parking and roof access with whoever manages the building.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why act early in Welling
Grease dripping from the canopy is a sign the filters can’t hold any more. Drips land on surfaces and equipment below and that’s the kind of thing inspectors look for. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What affects the quote in Welling
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Do not refit a filter that is bent
Nothing changes for your staff, except one less greasy job. Just keep the canopy clear for the next visit and tell us if service times change.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
What we are called out for in Welling
However long the kitchen cooks each day, the filters see every minute of it. Heavy daily use means fast build-up so changes need to come round sooner.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Filters that leave gaps in the canopy
- Blocked baffle filters
- Poor airflow through the filters
- Hand-washed filters that still look greasy
For schools such as Danson Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.
Before booking anyone
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the price is fixed
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Welling
How do you handle parking and loading in Welling?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Welling makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you work in Welling outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Welling can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Which grease filters does the service cover?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. The first step is recording what you have and set up the service around them.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Baffle filters
Baffle filters use overlapping metal blades that force the air to change direction. Grease drops out as it does.
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota so the filters are clean when cooking picks up.
Kitchen extracts in Welling
The Food Standards Agency lists about 43 pubs, bars and clubs as registered food businesses in and around Welling, up to about a mile and a half out. Breakfasts, bar meals and functions all put grease into the extract wherever they’re cooked. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier. It’s Bexley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Welling. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
A hall kitchen that only cooks for events, whether near St John's Church or elsewhere in Welling, still needs its extract cleaned, just less often. A hospital like Bexley Hospital, about 0.9 miles east, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day.
