How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few minutes per canopy, longer for a large kitchen with several canopies, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bloodden.
- We look at the canopies and the condition of the filters.
- Any damaged or missing filters are noted.
- Greasy filters are swapped for clean ones.
- The filters are checked for fit before we go.
- We tell you if the plenum or canopy needs a clean.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Grease filter exchange for kitchens and businesses in Bloodden
We run grease filter exchange for all kinds of kitchens in Bloodden, whether there’s one canopy or many. Visits can be timed around your service, so cooking is not interrupted. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow through the filters and filter washing that keeps being missed, on school and hospital kitchens, mesh filters and baffle filters.
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 report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Different parts, different methods
School, care home and staff kitchens
For kitchens closed in the holidays, visits can be timed around term or rota, keeping the filters ready for the busy weeks.
The plenum
Heavy grease in the plenum often follows clogged or missing filters or that the next TR19 clean is due.
Your questions about grease filter exchange in Bloodden
Who enforces fire safety at workplaces in Bloodden?
Fire safety enforcement in Bloodden is handled by Kent Fire and Rescue Service. If a fire safety officer visits a commercial kitchen, they may ask about the fire risk assessment and how the extract is kept clean.
Can you get to a site in Bloodden?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bloodden included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will we have to stop cooking for a filter change?
A change takes well under an hour for most canopies, so disruption is small. We plan visits outside your busiest times wherever we can.
Do you clean filters as well as exchanging them?
We offer filter cleaning as well as exchange. We will talk you through which suits your kitchen when we quote.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold 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.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- A canopy too small for the cooking beneath it
- Greasy ducts and risers that a filter change won’t reach
- Extraction problems caused by the fan rather than the filters
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Island canopies
- Baffle filters
- Wall canopies
- School and hospital kitchens
- Restaurants and pubs
- Mesh filters
Why deal with it now?
Grease-loaded filters are a fire risk in their own right. Flames from the range can be drawn up into the canopy, and from there into the duct. Clean filters mean less fuel in the canopy. In a small place like Bloodden, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Full insurance on every job

What else we do in Bloodden
Grease filter exchange in Bloodden: the local picture
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Bloodden. Any of those kitchens with a canopy relies on its filters to catch grease before it reaches the duct. Food hygiene inspections in Bloodden are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Our report lists what was cleaned and when, which is useful to have ready. Bloodden sits within the area of Kent Fire and Rescue Service. Grease in a kitchen extract is a recognised fire risk, and the fire authority enforces the law on managing it in most commercial premises.
Commuter trade near Adisham station can mean long cooking hours, and long hours put a kitchen into BESA’s more frequent cleaning bands. Healthcare kitchens can’t easily close, so their extracts are cleaned overnight or between meal services; the nearest hospital to Bloodden is St Martins Hospital, about 4.5 miles north-west.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Clear anything stored on or near the canopy
- Don’t let the full clean slip because filters are changed
- Always run the extract while cooking
- Wipe the outside of the canopy as part of daily cleaning
Keep an eye out for filters that have been taken out. Gaps let grease into the plenum so tell us if you need a replacement.
Filter exchange and TR19 cleaning work best together. Setting both up on a schedule means neither slips.
