Your questions about grease filter exchange in Whitewood
Will you come out to Whitewood?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Whitewood outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Whitewood doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How often should grease filters be changed?
It varies from kitchen to kitchen. The schedule is based on how heavily you cook, and adjust it if needed.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will explain the options when we quote.
What happens to the dirty filters?
We take them away to be cleaned, so your staff don’t have to wash them. Clean filters go straight in.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
About our grease filter exchange in Whitewood
The filters in the canopy are the first thing cooking vapour meets. Their job is to stop grease getting further into the system and they do it best when they’re clean. With grease filter exchange, clean filters replace greasy ones at regular intervals. If you’re dealing with missing filters in the filter bank and a greasy plenum behind the filters, we can help, from restaurants and pubs, mesh filters and wall canopies onwards.
Work in a small place like Whitewood starts with a call to agree access and timings, and the clean itself is the same full TR19® job as in any town: canopy to discharge, then a TR19® certificate and a photo report.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Whitewood
Clogged filters choke the extract. The kitchen gets hotter and smokier, and the fan works harder to pull air through. Keeping filters clean keeps the extract working properly. Planning a trip to Whitewood ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Drips falling from the filters onto equipment
- A greasy plenum behind the filters
- Missing filters in the filter bank
Church and community hall kitchens, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or anywhere around Whitewood, are easy to forget, but their extracts collect grease like any other.

Part by part
Busy restaurant and pub kitchens
When service is non-stop, filters get forgotten. A regular exchange means nobody has to remember.
The plenum
Clean filters reduce the grease reaching the plenum, but it’s still cleaned during a full TR19 clean.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the extract on whenever the range is in use
- Report a dripping canopy early
- Make sure we can reach the canopy on exchange day
- Book full TR19 cleans alongside filter changes
Once the clean filters are in, the kitchen can cook right away. The dirty set leaves with us for cleaning.
Filters that are left too long stop protecting the system. A regular cycle keeps the rest of the system cleaner until the next TR19 clean.

What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes well under an hour for most canopies. Somewhere like Whitewood, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- First, we check the canopies and the filters in them.
- We note any filters that are bent, damaged or missing.
- We exchange the dirty filters for a clean set.
- We check the filters are seated and the canopy is ready to use.
- Anything that needs attention, such as a greasy plenum, is pointed out.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
