West Hanney grease filter exchange
We cover West Hanney for grease filter exchange. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A canopy that drips grease
- Weak extraction at the canopy
- Filter washing that keeps being missed
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
Grease filter exchange in West Hanney
Each visit is quick and tidy. The greasy filters come out, clean ones go in and make sure there are no gaps between them. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. Typical jobs include filters that leave gaps in the canopy and poor airflow through the filters, on mesh filters, restaurants and pubs and island canopies.
In a village or hamlet like West Hanney, the kitchens that need extract cleaning are typically a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen, wherever there is one. Every one of them still needs its extract kept clear of grease.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Common questions in West Hanney
Can you get to a site in West Hanney?
Yes. West Hanney is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in West Hanney?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Can we skip TR19 cleans if the filters are changed regularly?
No, the two work together. A TR19® clean deals with the whole system and comes with a certificate and photo report.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Baffle and mesh filters are both covered. We check what’s in your canopies first and plan the exchange around them.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
When to call us in West Hanney
The type of cooking matters. Fryers, grills and woks load filters faster than ovens and steamers so no single schedule suits every kitchen.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Gaps where filters have been removed
- Staff short of time to wash filters
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around West Hanney (Longworth House is about 4.2 miles north), fitting access panels needs care.
Before booking anyone
- Whether VAT is included
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What grease filter exchange can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Wall canopies
- Mesh filters
- Baffle filters
- Island canopies
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes less than an hour in most kitchens. Visits to a village like West Hanney are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start by noting how many filters you have and what type they are.
- Together we set how often the filters should be changed.
- On each visit, the dirty filters come out of the canopy.
- We fit clean filters and check they sit snugly in the housing.
- We flag any damaged filters or anything wrong with the canopy.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will normally have a quote within one working day.

What affects the quote in West Hanney
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
For grease filter exchange in West Hanney, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.

What else we do in West Hanney
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep every filter in place during service
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Look out for drips from the canopy
- Mention it if the kitchen gets busier
The next exchange is already in the diary. If the kitchen gets busier, the interval can be shortened to keep up.
If cooking has stepped up, the filter schedule should too. Adjusting the schedule now prevents a build-up behind the canopy.
