How we handle grease filter exchange in West Brompton
Washing filters in the kitchen sink is messy and easily missed on a busy week. An exchange service means clean filters arrive and greasy ones leave and the canopy is refilled right away. If you have poor airflow through the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, we can put it right.
In London, few kitchens can spare a day to close, so work in West Brompton is normally booked for the night or the early hours. Parking, loading and access to the roof are agreed with the building before the night of the clean.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Never leave gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
Fresh filters improve airflow at the canopy from the moment they’re fitted. Keep the extract running while you cook so they catch grease as intended.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. A maintenance plan that covers both keeps everything on track.

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

Different parts, different methods
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
High-output kitchens clog filters quickly. They often need the shortest exchange interval.
Mesh filters
Older or smaller canopies often use mesh filters. We exchange them on the same basis as baffles.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a short visit, depending on how many filters the canopies hold. If your building in West Brompton has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- At each visit, the greasy filters are lifted out.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- If a filter is damaged or the plenum needs attention, we tell you.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Grease filter exchange around West Brompton
Look up West Brompton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 1,040 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 126 takeaways in and around West Brompton, up to about a mile and a half out. Swapping filters on a schedule keeps kitchens like these drawing air properly. West Brompton is covered by London Fire Brigade. The Fire Safety Order puts the duty on whoever runs a kitchen to control its fire risk, and a greasy duct is fuel. In London, kitchens are usually cleaned overnight, when the kitchen is closed and loading is easier.
Bursars and site managers at schools such as St Cuthbert with St Matthias CofE Primary School tend to book extract cleaning for when the kitchen is empty. A hospital like Western Hospital, about within half a mile south-west, is the kind of site where a kitchen may cook for patients, staff and visitors all day. Commuter trade near West Brompton station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands.

Your questions about grease filter exchange in West Brompton
Can the work in West Brompton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in West Brompton keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Does London parking affect a job in West Brompton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in West Brompton, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is West Brompton in your area?
Yes. We work in West Brompton and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How regularly do grease filters need exchanging?
That depends on the cooking. Kitchens that fry and grill all day need changes more often than kitchens that cook less. We agree the interval with you.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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. That’s our job.
