About our grease filter exchange in Yeading
A clean set of filters is a simple, regular dose of prevention. It keeps airflow up and grease down between full cleans, and it saves your staff a greasy job. Full TR19 cleaning still comes at the right interval, with a certificate. The work covers restaurants and pubs, wall canopies and mesh filters, and people most often call us about grease filters clogged with grease and poor airflow through the filters.
London kitchens are often tucked into basements or the back of a building, and the duct may run up through several floors before it discharges at the roof. In Yeading, as elsewhere in the capital, a long duct run means more access points to open and more grease to remove.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Part by part
Canopy filter housings
The trough or channel under the filters fills with grease. If it needs attention, we will tell you.
Mesh filters
Mesh traps grease between its layers, which makes hand-washing hard work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Yeading
Once filters are saturated, more grease gets past them. The ductwork then loads up faster, and grease may build up faster than the cleaning interval allows. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

Do you need grease filter exchange in Yeading?
Wherever you are, Yeading included, filter washing is the job that gets skipped when the kitchen is busy. A missed wash or two is all it takes for filters to fill with grease.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Missing filters in the filter bank
- Grease filters clogged with grease
- Grease building up behind the canopy filters
- Filters left unwashed on busy weeks
For schools such as Brookside Primary School, kitchen extract cleaning is usually booked for the holidays, when the canteen is closed.

Yeading: your questions answered
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Yeading?
London Fire Brigade is the fire and rescue service for Yeading. TR19® is not law, but it’s the benchmark many fire officers and insurers look to when they ask how often the extract is cleaned.
How do you handle parking and loading in Yeading?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Yeading makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Can damaged filters stay in the canopy?
Damaged filters do not seat properly and let grease through. We point them out on the visit so they can be replaced.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. In most cases, the work takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Grease, kitchens and Yeading
There are about 128 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 64 sandwich bars and takeaways across Yeading and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Clogged filters slow the airflow, and busy kitchens like these clog them fast. It’s Ealing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Yeading. They look at how clean the premises and equipment are, and the kitchen extract is part of that. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after. Yeading sits within the area of London Fire Brigade. Its fire safety officers can audit commercial kitchens, and grease in the extract is part of a kitchen’s fire risk.
If your kitchen is in a listed or historic building, like the houses around Yeading (Northolt Manor is about 1.4 miles north-east), fitting access panels needs care. Where a hall near St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre, or anywhere in Yeading, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does.
