Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bay View
Each visit is quick and tidy. We lift out the dirty filters and fit a clean set, and we check they’re seated with no gaps. Anything that needs attention is pointed out. The work covers wall canopies, restaurants and pubs and baffle filters, and people most often call us about hand-washed filters that still look greasy and grease filters clogged with grease.
Rural kitchens often have long, low duct runs through a roof space or along an outside wall, and those horizontal sections are where grease settles. Access, parking and timings are agreed before the day.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Bay View kitchens: local notes
Sea air reaches Bay View, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, the fan and discharge at the top of a kitchen extract corrode faster than they would inland. Look up Bay View on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 19 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bay View. Each canopy among them has filters that load with grease and need swapping or cleaning. In Bay View, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Swale council. The cleanliness of the kitchen and its equipment, extraction included, is part of what they check. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
In and around Bay View, as anywhere, the clean ends with a TR19® certificate and a photo report. For kitchens in and around Bay View, the clean covers everything from the canopy to the discharge.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Bay View and across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean the canopy surfaces regularly
- Let us know if your cooking hours increase
- Tell us if a filter is bent or damaged
- Always run the extract while cooking
Between visits, check that every filter is still in place. Gaps let grease into the plenum, so let us know if one goes missing or gets damaged.
Clean filters plus regular full cleans keep the system in good health. Setting both up on a schedule keeps everything on track.

Why deal with it now?
Washing filters in-house is an option for kitchens in Bay View, and it works when it’s done well and never skipped. When it doesn’t happen reliably, an exchange makes it automatic. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Bay View rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One number for every site across the South East and London

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies. Somewhere like Bay View, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We record the number, size and type of your filters.
- An exchange schedule is agreed to suit your cooking.
- The dirty set is lifted out.
- Clean filters go in and we check they sit snugly.
- The dirty filters leave with us and the next visit is booked.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A noisy or failed extract fan
- A heavily greased plenum or canopy, which needs cleaning to TR19
- Grease already built up in the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bay View
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bay View?
Food hygiene inspections in Bay View are carried out by Swale council. An officer may look up into the canopy, so clean filters on the day and a recent certificate on file both help.
Does coastal air change anything about grease filter exchange in Bay View?
Yes, to a degree: at about 2 miles from the coast, Bay View gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
What types of filter do you exchange?
Both baffle filters and mesh filters are covered. At the start, we note what your canopies use so the clean set always fits.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you clean our existing filters instead?
Yes, filter cleaning is available. The first step is looking at the filters you have because bent or damaged ones may need replacing.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How much does a filter exchange service cost?
We price it on the number of filters and the visit frequency. Tell us what you have and we will come back with a fixed quote, typically within one working day.
How long will you be on site?
Your quote will say how long we expect to be there. For a typical site, it takes less than an hour in most kitchens.
