Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in West Bedfont
Cleaning filters by hand takes staff time and is easy to put off. With a filter exchange, we bring a clean set and take the dirty one away and the canopy is refilled straight away. If you have filters that come out of the sink still dirty and damaged filters letting grease past, we can help, from wall canopies, island canopies and restaurants and pubs onwards.
Somewhere as small as West Bedfont, commercial kitchens are few: perhaps a pub, a school or care home kitchen, or a hall used for events. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease, whatever the size of the place.
A written report with photos follows each 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.

Common questions in West Bedfont
Do you do school kitchen extract cleaning in West Bedfont in the summer holidays?
Yes, and it’s the easiest time to do it. Food Standards Agency records list about 11 schools, colleges and universities with registered kitchens within about a mile and a half of West Bedfont. Send us your term dates when you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will fit the work in.
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in West Bedfont?
That’s Surrey Fire and Rescue Service. Records of extract cleaning are a sensible thing to have ready if a fire safety officer carries out an audit.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
The right interval depends on the kitchen. If filters are dripping or clogging before the next change, it’s too long and we will adjust it.
Is filter exchange enough instead of a full extract clean?
It does not. Some grease passes the filters as vapour and settles in the ducts and the whole system still needs its TR19 clean.
Do we need to close the kitchen while filters are changed?
An exchange does not take long, and we can come before or after service. The clean set goes in as soon as the dirty one comes out.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Do you deal with bent or broken filters?
We check every filter at each visit. Any that are bent or damaged are flagged since a poor fit lets grease past.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.

The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.

A longer exchange interval may suit lighter cooking. The interval is set to fit.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the grease filter exchange, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes less than an hour in most kitchens. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to West Bedfont and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.

Kitchen extracts in West Bedfont
Food Standards Agency records include about 15 bars, pubs and nightclubs and about 5 hotels and B&Bs within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Bedfont. Where they serve hot food, their kitchen extracts need cleaning to TR19® like any restaurant’s. Surrey Fire and Rescue Service covers West Bedfont. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Bedfont. An officer looking round a kitchen will see the canopy, and grease there is hard to miss. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to West Bedfont is Ashford Hospital, about 0.7 miles south. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in West Bedfont, its extract still collects grease from every lunch and event. School kitchens, at schools like Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School for example, are usually cleaned in the holidays so no lunches are lost.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: 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.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Why act early in West Bedfont
A filter exchange is a few minutes; a choked extract affects a whole service. It’s one of the simplest parts of looking after the system and few are as easy to forget. If the system at a site near West Bedfont fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Report damaged filters so they can be replaced
If the plenum behind the filters looks greasy, we say so. That might mean bringing a TR19® clean forward, and we can arrange it.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.
Managing agents and facilities teams in West Bedfont
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
